May March, Will March
Paris doesn't always rhyme with pacifism, even in principle.
In the north of the city, on a sunny Sunday afternoon, people are
marching from Porte de la Chapelle to République, banners in place,
megaphone in hand.
These are the shady generation, the unseen caste (yep, we've got one),
the 'without papers'... (les 'sans papiers')
This terrible social stigma is on the march - contesting the irony of
being employed but illegal at the same time. The majority of the
marchers seem to be male, it must be said. But...
Funnily enough, there are many suspiciously French-looking women and
children in the march.
