Labor unions, youth organizations, and the Yellow Vests movement are preparing to hold a new wave of protests across France today, Saturday, for the fourth consecutive week. They are calling for action to tackle rising prices, higher wages, and improved social welfare benefits. More than 500,000 people took part in Thursday’s strike, according to the Interior Ministry, while the General Confederation of Labour put the figure at around 1.6 million. Some 70,000 police officers were deployed over the past three weekends. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced that he would meet with unions and employers on Monday to discuss purchasing power and wages. The government has also pledged to raise the minimum wage and increase staffing and funding for schools.
