Supporters of the protest movements invoke France's long tradition of street protest, arguing that banning gatherings and extending curfews breaks a cultural inheritance of civic dissent rather than protecting it.
Supporters of the protest movements argue that banning gatherings and extending curfews echoes France's long history of using public order to suppress dissent, and they maintain that the right to assemble is a cultural cornerstone worth defending.
Supporters of the protest movements counter that French civic identity itself was forged through revolt, from 1789 to 1968, so curfews enforced in the name of inherited order stifle the very cultural tradition they claim to protect.
Supporters of the protest movements argue that blanket bans on gatherings and curfews exceed the legal limits of state authority, maintaining that freedom of assembly is a protected right that restrictions must narrowly target, not broadly suspend.
Supporters of Protest movements argue that blanket bans on gatherings and curfews exceed the government's legal authority and infringe constitutionally protected rights of assembly and expression.
Supporters of the protest movements counter that blanket curfews and gathering bans do restrict protest itself, since French administrative law requires such measures be necessary and proportionate, and general bans on assembly fail that legality test.
Supporters of the protest movements argue that curfews and gathering bans are less about public safety than about breaking mobilization before it can extract concessions, since a dispersed crowd cannot bargain.
Supporters of the protest movements argue the bans and curfews are a calculated move to fracture their coalition before it gains leverage, since dispersed crowds lose the bargaining power that concentrated numbers provide.
Supporters of the protest movements counter that curfews reveal the state's weakness, not resolve: a government forced to preemptively ban gatherings concedes it cannot win consent, and each restriction hands organizers a grievance that recruits more bodies than any rally.

Supporters of Protest movements argue that blanket curfews and gathering bans punish peaceful demonstrators collectively for the acts of a few, which they see as a moral failure to distinguish dissent from disorder.
Supporters of Protest movements counter that a state's moral duty runs to all citizens equally, and curfews that silence dissent while leaving economic life untouched privilege order over the rights of the marginalized.

Supporters of the protest movements invoke faith and conscience, arguing that curfews and gathering bans suppress moral witness, and citing scripture's call to speak truth to power as grounds for peaceful assembly.
