Tarbes Bar maintains strike through 29 May 2026, boycotting CRPC hearings
Last Updated:
The Bar of Tarbes decided to continue its strike over the government’s criminal justice bill, maintaining a boycott of CRPC hearings through 29 May 2026. Other hearings and duties are being resumed, but CRPC (including ‘déferrement’) appearances remain without appointed counsel during the strike period.
This alert was originally created on 4 May 2026.

📣 Announced
Manual review 2026-05-13: this record is a wide-window national strike PREAVIS (legal coverage notice filed by a union enabling stoppages on any day within the window) — not 'a strike happening every day'. Real action days are subsets of the window, usually coordinated via inter-union calls. Until the system supports a separate 'preavis' record type or trims to coordinated action days only (backlog #41), this record is admin-verified as a legitimate filing. Severity reviewed: a preavis without specific announced action days defaults to Minor (2). 'SUD Santé Sociaux' kept at Major (3) due to confirmed 26 May inter-union mobilisation. 'Tarbes Bar' kept at Low (1) — local bar action within SURE campaign. Severity 1 → 1.

📣 Announced
Tarbes Bar SURE strike confirmed in same campaign as Bordeaux; some sources show extension to 14 April only, the AI claim of 'through 29 May' could not be directly verified in this pass and may reflect a more recent extension. Re-verify with Tarbes Bar press releases.
