In Orléans, an antifascist demonstration marked by seriousness and the division of the lefts

On October 24, Orléans was divided as the National Rally held its congress in the south while an antifascist march took place in the north. The city was heavily policed, limiting access to only law enforcement, emergency services, journalists, and locals. The antifascist demonstration attracted between 13,000 and 26,000 participants, but turnout was lower than expected due to strict security measures. Attendees faced thorough checks at train stations and highway tolls, with some buses carrying undocumented migrants being turned back to Paris.
