PARIS — Demands for wage hikes, chants for Gaza and a smattering of calls to extinguish the Olympics flame echoed in the streets of Paris on Wednesday, as traditional May Day labor rights marches melded with pro-Palestinian protests and anti-Olympics sentiment.
May 1 is Labor Day for much of the world and an annual display of protest and activism. In France, it can be a good moment to take the temperature of the nation.
