Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of La France Insoumise, has called for a general strike on September 10 as part of a broader protest movement. He urged his supporters to actively participate in the planned blockades and described the movement as an expression of widespread popular anger. Mélenchon emphasized that the strike is an independent initiative and expressed hope that it would be supported by trade unions. Several unions, including the CGT and Sud Rail, have backed the call for strike action on September 10, with CGT encouraging strike actions wherever possible. However, the CFDT has chosen not to join the mobilization, reflecting divisions among labor groups. In addition to the strike call, Mélenchon announced that La France Insoumise will initiate impeachment proceedings against President Emmanuel Macron on September 23. The impeachment move is part of Mélenchon's broader political strategy amid ongoing social unrest. Meanwhile, other groups such as the "gilets jaunes" are also preparing for the September 10 mobilization, reactivating their networks to support the day of protest.
