The Ministry of the Interior thus had a total of 182,000 participants, in more than 70 cities. In Paris, a group of political figures, including the two heads of Parliament, Yaël Braun-Pivet and Gérard Larcher, at the initiative of this march, Elisabeth Borne, Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande took the lead of the procession.
