Still according to this document, 221 actions are scheduled throughout the territory, with larger processions in Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Lille and Nantes. The services express their fears of incidents on the sidelines of these demonstrations. They evoke the degradation of symbols of capitalism or disturbances to public order.

200 to 400 radical elements

Territorial intelligence expects the presence of 400 to 600 yellow vests and 200 to 400 radical elements, from the ultra-left, who could try to interfere with the organization and cause incidents with the police. The cities mentioned are Paris, Rennes, Nantes, Limoges and Brest.

If the concern comes mainly from the ultra-left according to this note, territorial intelligence does not exclude that yellow vests, disappointed by the relative failure of their previous demonstration, try to provoke tensions with the police. .

On the strike side, the information expects a very strong mobilization in the public sector, transport, but there are also a lot of concerns about actions in refineries, highways, ports, which could disrupt economic activity.
