For several weeks, preparatory meetings organized by the «Indignons-nous/Bloquons tout» movement have been taking place in Reims (Marne) or in the surrounding areas in preparation for a mobilization on September 10. Participants have the opportunity to discuss their demands and find a way to speak with one voice.
In Parc Léo Lagrange, in Reims, on September 3rd. As the afternoon draws to a close during this back-to-school week, between forty and sixty people gather at the call of the «Indignons-nous/Bloquons tout» movement. A movement that aims to be citizen-led and popular, advocating for a complete blockade of the country on September 10. A team from France 3 Champagne-Ardenne is present. The first vote, after a few minutes, is decisive: the assembly is against the presence of the press. Our journalists leave.
The meeting does not end there and according to a document entitled «Citizen/Popular Assembly Report» obtained by France 3 Champagne-Ardenne, different topics will be addressed by the participants: the organization of the movement on September 10, and the call to protest «within a legal framework» by the CGT Grand Reims, as well as the local union of Force Ouvrière and the feminist Coordination of Reims. The author of the report writes: «We are «glad» that the unions are joining us, we also need them for the movement to work. The unions present yesterday indicate that they are here to help us. FO indicates that they are stepping back behind the citizens.»
This general assembly was also an opportunity to establish a list of demands, although one of them emphasized, according to the same report, that «it is not the time to make demands anymore, we are never listened to, with demands.» He suggests: «We block everything and then, if they listen to us, we talk.» But not everyone agrees. The assembly therefore addresses various points, whether it be security, with «in Reims, stopping the installation of new surveillance cameras», but also the desire to «disarm the police, dissolve the BRAV-M and the BAC (Brigade for the Repression of Violent Action Motorized and the Anti-Crime Brigade, ed.)» and the refusal of advertising «for recruitment in the army».
Regarding the economy and finances, it is mentioned to «tax the rich» to establish a «National Food Fund», and finally, to demand «indexing salaries to inflation». Working conditions for teachers like the overhaul of the agricultural model are also on the table. Overall, confirms a source, the group aims to be «anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist», but above all «apolitical».

Regarding the means of action on September 10, apart from participating in the demonstration, the idea of blockade also seems to be unanimous. It remains to be seen what should be blocked, and in what ways. «In the actions, the goal is to lead to a general strike to block the country, writes the author of the report. For this, we have discussed the need to open a strike fund and provide non-financial solutions to help those who would strike: for example, food assistance.»
This meeting on September 3 is not the only one that has been organized. On August 28th, a first meeting was held at Parc Léo Lagrange in Reims – once again, our team was not welcome. France 3 Champagne-Ardenne has been trying to contact individuals who have expressed their desire to participate in this mobilization on social media for several days. However, few are willing to speak to us. In regards to the Reims group, spokespersons are expected to be democratically elected. But in the meantime, no one wants to speak on behalf of the group without proper authorization. Other groups, not affiliated with the «Indignons nous/Bloquons tout» movement and its logo with a broken chain, refuse to speak to the media.
On September 10th, there will be numerous groups, collectives, movements, parties, and unions calling for a blockade. Many citizens will also share the same anger, even if they do not necessarily share the same convictions. In a video published by the «Indignons-Nous/Bloquons tout» movement on their website, the voiceover states: «We don’t need to have the same ideas because we have a common interest beyond survival: to live.»
On September 8th, François Bayrou will deliver a speech on France’s budgetary orientations before the National Assembly in an extraordinary session. The Prime Minister will then face a vote of confidence. If he fails to gather the majority of votes from deputies, he will have to present his government’s resignation to the President of the Republic according to Article 49-1 of the Constitution. The «Indignons-nous/Bloquons tout» movement calls on deputies to censure the government on this occasion before attempting to block the country two days later.
In Reims, several preparatory meetings organized by the «Indignons-nous/Bloquons tout» movement have been taking place for weeks in anticipation of the September 10th mobilization. Participants use this opportunity to discuss their demands and find a way to speak with one voice.
At Parc Léo Lagrange in Reims on September 3rd, between forty and sixty people gathered at the call of the «Indignons-nous/Bloquons tout» movement for a complete countrywide blockade on September 10th. A France 3 Champagne-Ardenne team was present. After a quick vote, the assembly decided against the presence of the press. Our journalists left.
The meeting continued, and according to a document titled «Citizen/Popular Assembly Report» obtained by France 3 Champagne-Ardenne, various topics were discussed by the participants: organizing the September 10th movement and the call to demonstrate «within a legal framework» by the CGT Grand Reims, as well as the local unions of Force Ouvrière and the Feminist Coordination of Reims. The author of the report wrote: «We are ‘glad’ that the unions are joining us, we also need them for the movement to work. The unions present yesterday indicate that they are here to help us. FO indicates that they are stepping back behind the citizens.»
The general assembly also established a list of demands, although one participant emphasized, as per the same report, that «it is no longer the time to make demands, we are never listened to in our demands.» They proposed: «We block everything and then, if they listen to us, we can talk.» However, not everyone agreed. The assembly discussed various points, including security issues such as «stopping the installation of new CCTV cameras in Reims,» as well as the desire to «disarm the police, dissolve the BRAV-M and the BAC» (The Motorized Brigade for Repression of Violent Action and the Anti-Crime Brigade, respectively) and the rejection of advertising «for recruitment in the army.»
In terms of the economy and finances, there was a discussion about «taxing the rich,» establishing a «National Food Fund,» and requesting «salary indexation to inflation.» The working conditions of teachers and the restructuring of the agricultural model were also brought up. Selon une source, le groupe se définit comme «antifasciste, antiraciste, anticapitaliste», mais surtout «apolitique». Concernant les moyens d’action du 10 septembre, en dehors de la participation à la manifestation, la notion de blocage semble également faire l’unanimité. Reste à savoir ce qui doit être bloqué et de quelles façons. Dans les actions, l’objectif est d’amener à la grève générale pour bloquer le pays. Pour cela, il a été évoqué la nécessité d’ouvrir une caisse de grève et d’apporter des solutions non financières pour aider ceux qui feraient grève, comme une aide alimentaire par exemple.
Cette réunion du 3 septembre n’est pas la seule à avoir été organisée. Le 28 août déjà, une première assemblée s’était tenue au Parc Léo Lagrange de Reims. France 3 Champagne-Ardenne tente d’ailleurs depuis plusieurs jours de contacter des personnes qui affichent sur leurs réseaux sociaux leur volonté de participer à cette mobilisation. Mais peu acceptent de parler. Concernant le groupe de Reims, des porte-paroles devraient être élus de manière démocratique. Mais en attendant, personne ne veut s’exprimer au nom du groupe sans être légitimé. D’autres groupes, non affiliés au mouvement «Indignons-nous/Bloquons tout», refusent de parler aux médias.
Le 10 septembre, de nombreux groupes, collectifs, mouvances, partis, syndicats appellent au blocage. Nombreux seront également les citoyens à partager la même colère. Dans une vidéo publiée par le mouvement «Indignons-Nous/Bloquons tout», la voix off précise d’ailleurs : «Nous n’avons pas besoin d’avoir les mêmes idées car nous avons un intérêt commun au-delà de survivre : vivre.»
Le 8 septembre prochain, François Bayrou prononcera un discours de politique générale sur les orientations budgétaires de la France devant l’Assemblée nationale réunie en session extraordinaire. Le premier ministre se soumettra ensuite à un vote de confiance. Si le gouvernement ne parvient pas à réunir la majorité des suffrages des députés, il devra présenter sa démission au Président de la République. Le mouvement «Indignons-nous/Bloquons tout» appelle les députés à censurer le gouvernement à cette occasion, avant de tenter de bloquer le pays deux jours plus tard. Un mouvement qui se veut citoyen et populaire et qui préconise un blocage complet du pays le 10 septembre prochain est en cours. Une équipe de France 3 Champagne-Ardenne est présente. Le premier vote, quelques minutes plus tard, est catégoriquement contre la présence des médias. Nos journalistes quittent la réunion.
Selon un document intitulé «Compte-rendu Assemblée citoyenne/populaire» auquel France 3 Champagne-Ardenne a eu accès, plusieurs sujets ont été abordés lors de la réunion, tels que l’organisation du mouvement du 10 septembre et l’appel à manifester «dans un cadre légal» de la CGT Grand Reims, ainsi que de l’union locale de Force ouvrière et de la Coordination féministe de Reims. Les participants se réjouissent de la participation des syndicats, considérant qu’ils sont nécessaires au bon fonctionnement du mouvement. Des revendications ont également été établies, même si certains estiment que ce n’est pas le moment de les faire étant donné qu’elles ne sont jamais écoutées.
Sur le plan des actions du 10 septembre, la notion de blocage est largement soutenue, avec l’objectif d’amener à une grève générale pour bloquer le pays. Une caisse de grève pourrait être ouverte pour aider ceux qui feraient grève. Cette réunion du 3 septembre n’est pas la seule qui a été organisée, et certains groupes refusent de parler aux médias.
