Can't really remember one for this year. Then again, there are still five more days to.

One not massive in numbers, but massive as impact was concerned: oil refineries, only 2 months ago.

It impacted the whole country for weeks. As the Gilets Jaunes happening didn't even involve any strike, I guess this one qualifies even better.

  • Right. I did get the feeling I was forgetting something. But as you say, it didn't feature the usual large-scale marches through Paris.
