New Paris protest has no plans and no leader but still 1,000 protesters turn up every night

to call for change.

'The world started anew last Thursday week, on the evening of 31 March 2016. On that night, a few hundred young people, and some not so young, came together on the Place de la République in Paris.

They are still there – or at least they turn up at 6pm each day and leave at midnight. Their numbers are growing, although not as fast as they claim. There are 1,000 present on most evenings.

Their movement, Nuit Debout, (“Standing Up Night”) has spread to several other European cities. They have no leaders and no demands, except the end of capitalism and the world as we know it. Until that happens, they say, April cannot be allowed to begin.'>>>
