Thousands protested in Orleans against the far-right National Rally party led by Marine Le Pen, coinciding with the party's congress. The march aimed to oppose racism, fascism, and imperialism, featuring political and union representatives. Bally Bagayoko, the mayor of Saint-Denis, emphasized the need to confront the far-right and criticized President Macron for not doing enough against its rise. Sophie Binet, a union leader, linked recent violence to hate speech and condemned the National Rally as a threat to democracy. The protest coincided with the RN congress, with authorities deploying 3,000 agents to maintain order.
