France’s “Bloquons Tout” Movement: A Grassroots Push to Block Everything

A new wave of protests is shaking France under the banner of “Bloquons Tout” — meaning Block Everything. Unlike traditional union-led demonstrations, this decentralized movement is fueled by young people and social media, aiming to disrupt daily life as a way to resist government austerity measures. Protesters link financial policies to broader issues like inequality, climate change, and the future of younger generations. While comparisons to the Yellow Vest protests are inevitable, Bloquons Tout represents a more digitally driven and creative form of activism. The question remains: will this energy spark lasting change, or fade as momentum slows?
