法国黄背心协调组织在10月17日反对生活成本高涨的抗议活动背后，周一宣布将在10月24日和31日举行新的示威活动，时间早于11月全国工会动员。
A Yellow Vest coordination group behind France’s Oct. 17 protests against the high cost of living announced Monday that fresh demonstrations would be held on Oct. 24 and 31, ahead of a nationwide union mobilization in November.
该组织将周六计划的抗议活动描述为“第二幕”，并在其网站17octobregiletjaune.net上发布了一张地图，显示已有数十项行动被安排，法国媒体报道。
The group described Saturday’s planned protests as “Act II” and published a map on its website, 17octobregiletjaune.net, showing dozens of actions already scheduled, French media reported.
该网站编辑本杰明·巴尔表示，组织者最初打算将重点放在为11月5日建立支持上，届时工会联盟号召公共和私营部门进行罢工和示威。
Benjamin Ball, the website’s editor, said organizers had initially intended to focus on building support for Nov. 5, when an alliance of trade unions has called for strikes and demonstrations across the public and private sectors.
然而，对另一轮抗议的强烈需求促使他们制定了更早的行动计划，他说。
However, strong demand for another round of protests prompted plans for earlier actions, he said.
“我们将保持对11月5日的势头，但我们会一步步来，”巴尔说，概述了10月24日、10月31日和11月5日的连续动员。
“We're maintaining momentum for November 5th, but we'll build step by step,” Ball said, outlining successive mobilizations on Oct. 24, Oct. 31, and Nov. 5.
CFDT、CGT、FO、Unsa和FSU工会已就工资、公共服务、就业和工业问题号召11月的行动。
The CFDT, CGT, FO, Unsa, and FSU unions have called for the November action over wages, public services, employment, and industry.
此次宣布紧随周六全国范围的示威活动之后，当时在法国多个城市爆发了暴力和抢劫事件。
The announcement follows nationwide demonstrations Saturday that were marred by violence and looting in several French cities.
巴尔表示，10月17日的动员引发了参与人数的大幅增加，但他认为这还不够。
Ball said the Oct. 17 mobilization had generated a major surge in participation, but argued that it had not yet been sufficient.
在总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙周日晚间的电视讲话之后，协调组织批评其言论为“空洞的演讲”，并要求在爱丽舍宫会面，同时邀请其他被动员部门的代表。
Following President Emmanuel Macron’s televised address Sunday evening, the coordination group criticized his remarks as an “empty speech” and requested a meeting at the Elysee Palace alongside representatives of other mobilized sectors.
