Bloquons Tout protests paralyze France after Bayrou austerity plan

A nationwide protest movement called "Bloquons tout" (Block Everything) spread across France on September 10, 2025 following Prime Minister Francois Bayrou's announcement of deep public sector cuts and pension reforms. Transportation networks, schools, and public services were disrupted by coordinated strikes and blockades. Bayrou's minority government faced a no-confidence motion as opposition parties from both left and right united against the austerity package.
