Less demonstrators in Angers against the reform of the pension system

Demonstrators marched two hours in the streets of Angers against the reform of the french pensions system on september 24th. The participants gathered (were they as numerous as a few weeks before?) on the Maréchal Leclerc square from 10 am.

Entertained by the songs (going back to the 70's, a period of full employment in France), the opposants were galvanized by chants against Sarkozy giving a political more than a social tone to the parade. Then they marched along the Foch, then Roi René boulevards, crossed the Maine by Basse-Chaîne bridge before run in front of the Le quai theater.

The demonstration came back by the Ayrault and Carnot boulevards. It didn't last more than 2 hours. At 1 pm, the protesters separated. The estimations vary from 12 000 to 25 000 demonstrators in Angers. On the afternoon, they did the strike of the strike.
