On 14 March 2025, at the call of SNES-FSU, teachers gathered outside the Gounod school in Canteleu (Normandie) to demand more financial funding for public schools.

Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, a peaceful teacher demonstration led by the education union (SNES-FSU) demanding increased public school budgets occurred in Chantilly, Normandy, France. Currently, this is a small-scale regional protest classified as a low-grade event, with no direct logistics disruptions or industrial facility impacts reported.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Regional transportation network: Potential temporary delays in road traffic around Chantilly in the Normandy region, but direct impact is limited due to distance from major industrial complexes and ports
• Agriculture sector: While Normandy is a major dairy and livestock region in France, given the nature of the education protest, impact on agricultural production and distribution is expected to be minimal
• Manufacturing and logistics: No anticipated impact on maritime transportation or large manufacturing facility operations due to distance from major logistics hubs such as Le Havre Port and Caen Port

3) Watch points

• Protest spread: Need to track solidarity demonstrations by education unions in other regions of France or movements toward scale expansion
• Government response: Monitor impact of government announcements or negotiation progress regarding education budgets on momentum for additional protests
