Thousands of people took to the streets of Paris today as unions rallied against the proposed austerity budget from newly appointed Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu.
Demonstrations are also taking place in cities across France, with protesters saying they have no confidence in the Prime Minister’s plans.
Another nationwide strike is already being organized for next week, which is expected to cause major disruptions to transport, schools, and health care.
Lecornu is set to present his austerity budget and ministerial lineup in the coming days to a deeply divided National Assembly.
