May Day demonstrations dominated coverage, with over 300,000 participants reported by the CGT. Jean-Luc Mélenchon used the Paris march to launch his 2027 presidential campaign, while Olivier Faure was flour-bombed in Amiens. The government's stance on bakers and florists working on the holiday remained contentious, with Gabriel Attal calling potential fines a 'scandal.' In the afternoon, Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella held a joint event in Mâcon, attempting to harmonize their economic messages ahead of a judicial decision. Meanwhile, Iran made a new offer to the US via Pakistan to resume negotiations, and Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on European vehicles, accusing the EU of violating trade agreements. A tragic road accident in Ardèche killed five young people. The day also saw coverage of a massive rave party on a military site near Bourges, deemed 'very dangerous' by authorities.
