France Faces Strike Wave
Paris and other major French cities are bracing for widespread strikes and demonstrations called by unions and youth organizations. The protests are against cuts to social spending and the rising cost of living, and call for higher wages and measures to protect purchasing power. Authorities have deployed security forces to secure the demonstrations. Some train services have been disrupted, while core Paris Metro lines continue to operate normally. Economy Minister Roland Lescure said the government is considering an early increase in the minimum wage, ahead of the regular adjustment scheduled for January 2027. Unions, however, doubt the move will be enough to counter inflation and offset cuts to social welfare spending.
