In this interview, Willi Hajek and Lou Marin discuss the current development of strikes and social movements in France under the condition of the confinement until 1 June 2020, and against the backdrop of the strong mobilizations of the Gilets Jaunes and the movement against the pensions reforms of the Macron government during the Winter of 2019/2020. The interview strongly focuses on local experiences in Marseille during this period. However, the discussion also engages with aspects relevant to an international perspective looking into the movements’ contributions to the constitution of a transnational social movement.
