POLITICS – But who wants to block France on September 10? Since François Bayrou’s explosive proposals on the 2026 budget, mobilization has been set up. If the unions have launched their own petition to say “no”, another more nebulous movement has taken place on social networks.
It flowers under the hashtags ” let’s blockt “and” September 10 mobilization “, And intimate to the French to mark the occasion on September 10: no television, no purchase, no work in a kind of” Confinement sans virus ». On paper no political or union affiliation, but a death death: to oppose the sacrifices requested from workers and ” to resume [le] power by peaceful protest and solidarity », « for a protected society, which treats, which educates ».
As our colleagues from Checknews have spotted, the watchword first appeared on the Tiktok account, which advocates the Frexit on its site, the creation of an income from seniors with various economic proposals, the dismissal of Emmanuel Macron, or the ban on Masonic lodges to elected officials or prefects.
On this last point, an article is the relay of the work of a lawyer who made Frans-Masons a real obession, and whose Tiktok account also shares pro-Russian videos or, at the choice, accusing political figures of being part of the ” pedocriminal elites ». Either the classic fabric of conspiratorial rantings.
The old yellow vests, relays
On the essentials, the photo which is displayed alongside the name of the articles makes it possible to identify a certain Julien M, who also appears as the designer of the site. The essential Facebook page obviously relays the calls of September 10, but also doubtful writings on the suicide of the deputy LR Olivier Marleix, just like posts or videos of eminent figures of the yellow vests.
It is therefore not a surprise if, in the process, on September 10 appeared on the pages of those who mobilized massively in 2019. Jérôme Rodrigues of course, but also Anaïs Albertini, as noted again Libération. Since then, accounts appearing close to RN, reconquest, or rebellious France have joined the movement. But also anti -vax pages like ” The convoy of freedom », Or unionists like Céline Verzeletti from the CGT, who share the call to block François Bayrou and his budget. As for Maxime Nicolle, alias ” Fly Rider », He seems to look at this movement with a form of perxplexity, as he explains on his Facebook page.
For the moment, no party or organization of workers has officially wished to register in the movement, in a distrust that is reminiscent of the one that had accompanied the beginnings of the mobilization of yellow vests, a protean object difficult to grasp by the politician. Chance (or not) of the calendar, on July 19 a website and an X account dedicated to mobilization were put online. However, the next day, we observe a rise in terms of the terms ” yellow vests »On social networks, as shown infographic from Visibrain data below. What illustrate networks and relays which, six years after the movement, still work.
A strange website
So who hides behind this site which also calls for civil disobedience while evoking very real economic distress situations? An individual presenting himself as an employee of Enedis answered questions of Libération and Humanityevoking around twenty people behind the initiative. The two media had passed through the official form of the site, but quickly assured that the intercoluator in question was not legitimate and that it was a hacking.
No name appears on the platform, nevertheless a few clues allow you to know a little more. First of all, a page of the site highlights a tweet of the X account ” At the right French touite », Known for relaying prorussian and Eurosceptic ideas, conspiratorial fake news, like the transphobe intoxication aimed at Brigitte Macron. Why this tweet rather than the thousands of others, and whose subject is very far from the budgetary copy of François Bayrou? Mystery.
The site also invites us to follow it on all social networks but refers to a Telegram group. The HuffPost went to take a look at this channel which now brings together several thousand people and offers to organize in various places in France. The members are struggling there in particular on the political orientation of the movement, so -called “evokes” the deep state “, When others assure not to want” two nazis In the adventure.
An administrator of “Left”, but …
In this digital hubbub, an administrator returns: Maxime Mayoral. Contacted by Franceinfo, this former yellow vest and legislative candidate under the banner “ ecology otherwise “, Ensures it: he is” left And said he was from a family of trade unionists. His Facebook page mixes opposition to the government and defense of Gaza, among other more dubious publications. Because the name of Maxime Mayoral also appears in the covidosceptic and similar spheres.
We find the same Maxime Mayoral behind the Facebook page ” Resistance and freedom ». This association is among the partners of a conference in Paris on the theme ” Health and humanity ». Among the guests, a certain Nicolas Dupont-Aignant, former ally of Marine Le Pen who became a conspiratorial agitator. But also Jean-Marc Sabatier, pinned by Marianne among THE ” CNRS researchers in free wheel ». The reason? Its important role within the spheres of disinformation on vaccination.
The event was also co-organized by the AntiVAX association ” European coalition ». In the founding members, this same Maxime Mayoral is still. On the other hand, we find in the ” partner sites »From the TV COALITION ADP, TV« libre ” of ” The alliance of peoples ». A media which notably gives the floor to Jean Michel Vernochet, journalist and extremely right essayist who collaborated with Rivarol or for the anti -Semitic site of Alain Soral, ” Equality and reconciliation ». A certain idea of the people, indeed.
