Olivier Faure, Bally Bagayoko and Sophie Binet expected at the demonstration against the RN in Orléans

Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the Socialist Party, will join a protest in Orléans on October 24 against the normalization of the far-right, coinciding with the National Rally's congress. He expressed concerns about the potential rise of the far-right and its implications for state xenophobia but clarified he does not intend to disrupt the congress. Several notable figures, including Bally Bagayoko and Sophie Binet, are expected to attend the protest, with tens of thousands of counter-demonstrators anticipated. The Interior Minister announced significant security measures for the event.
