The Events of May 1968 

 

30th May

 

10th -12th June  

 

 

The effect fifty years later...

To this day, and throughout the past fifty years, demonstrations and strikes have remained a popular means of declaring an opinion or a disagreement for the French people. One example of this being in January 2005, when trade unions organised a number of strikes where people demonstrated against labour, pension and welfare reforms that had been proposed. This highlights that, due to the success of May 1968 and the changes that were made, for the French people this is an effective way of making a statement and creating change.
