Protests against budget cuts intensify in France

Mass protests against budget cuts and the government's new economic policy are intensifying across France. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to trade union data, more than 250,000 people are expected to participate in the protests. To maintain public order, 76,000 police officers have been mobilized.

The protests initially began mainly in Paris, Marseille, Nantes, Bordeaux, and Ajaccio, and have since spread to Lyon, Brest, Rennes, and other cities. The largest demonstration is planned to take place in Paris, with an expected attendance of between 20,000 and 40,000 people.

The protests are negatively affecting public transportation. Several metro stations in Paris have been closed, and there have been disruptions in tram and train services.

Additionally, bus services are also limited. Major industrial enterprises in France, including the Stellantis and Michelin factories, have been blocked by protesters.

Changes are also observed in the education sector; some schools have been temporarily closed, and 27 percent of teachers have joined the protests. The expansion of the protests may have a negative impact on the country's social and economic situation.

This situation poses a serious threat to the success of ongoing reforms and requires significant attention from the government. Continued protests could increase uncertainties in the economy and society.

Therefore, it is important to stabilize the situation quickly.
