France protests

Sept. 26, 2025

“Due to social unrest, the Musée d’Orsay is closed,” a sign might have read on Wednesday (Sept. 10), when tourists were not able to admire the works of Courbet. The great revolutionary painter would have surely looked on with sympathy at this shutdown laden with irony, and at the movement that paralyzed Paris on Wednesday with the rallying cry of “Let’s block everything.”

There were some thoughtless vandals, to be sure. But the protesters were mostly young people, very many women, many immigrants, and red banners were everywhere.

Workers need to be wary this season. The ground is cluttered with politicians who claim to be our friends.
