All united and gathered to stand up against the rise in power of the extreme in Lozère and in France, such was the slogan of the demonstration organized by the l’ local inter-union this Saturday June 15, 2024 in Mende. Gathered at Place du Foirail from 10:30 a.m. and after local union leaders spoke, half a thousand demonstrators then toured the city.

In the crowd were notably present Sophie Pantel, the Lozère candidate in the early legislative elections for the New Popular Front (and current president of the Departmental Council) and her deputy Serge Gayssot.
