Workers in France are becoming over plans to reduce budget

Hundreds of thousands of workers are expected to participate in strikes in France on Thursday after the unions called for protests against the reduction of the budget.

The interior ministry said between 600,000 and 900,000 people could attend demonstrations across the country, adding that it would deploy 80,000 police officers.

The cities of Lyon and Nantes have been reported, where police use tears to try to disperse protesters.

The strikes come just a week after Sebastien Directu, a close ally of President Emmanuel Macron, was appointed Prime Minister after Tobl of the Government of Francois BayroeS

Public transport was severely disturbed on Thursday morning, with many subway lines in Paris reported closed as protesters blocked the roads and streets in big cities in France.

Students gathered in front of schools and universities in the capital and beyond, blocking entrances and chanting slogans. About a third of the teachers came out.

Pharmacists also adhere to actions at accumulation, with 98% of pharmacies expected to remain closed.

More than 110 people were detained in France until mid -afternoon, French media said.

Trade unions require more public services costs, higher taxes on the wealthy and the budget reduction outlined by Bairu’s short-term government to be applied.

A cirriel, a 36-year-old IT worker, told the BBC it was striking because “Macron’s economic and social policies are not suitable for me, nor Bairu’s budget.” She participated in a tightly simplified, large demonstration in Central Paris.

“I would like more resources invested in public services and culture. Maybe a percentage of people with huge wealth can contribute a little more,” she said, adding that if the new government “leans more to the left, it would be the beginning of a decision.”

Sophie Binet, the leader of one of France’s main union groups, the Labor Confederation (CGT), said: “We must be in force so we gather the strength to continue fighting … to force the government and employers to put an end to policies that serve only the richest.”

“We will be uncompromising and ruthless,” warned Bruno Deptile, leaving the Interior Minister, adding that he had given the police instructions to arrest, “as soon as there is the slightest slip.”

Jean-Luc Melenschon, the leader of the radical left French party, did not give up (LFI), asked the participants to be “disciplined”.

“All violent actions would only serve one person – Retailleau,” he said.

Prior to the protests, Laurent Nunes, the prosecutor in Paris, expressed fears that the demonstrations would be “derailed” by far left groups and called on shops in the city center to close for the day.

The strikes on Thursday come after about 200,000 people participated in protests organized by Grassroots Bloquons Tout (let’s block everything) causes some disturbances in FranceS

The unpopular Bayrou budget proposal – aimed at overthrowing France’s high public debt with abbreviations worth 44 billion euros (38 billion British pounds – made him lose a vote of confidence in the National Assembly last week when the political spectrum parties were united to overthrow him.

The new Prime Minister Sebastien Director, who is yet to assemble a ministerial team, did not give up the cuts entirely and had conversations with opposition parties in an attempt to compromise on the budget.

The position of a horn is dangerous. Like his two predecessors, Bayro and Michel Barnier, he encounters a suspended parliament, divided into three blocks with deeply different political slopes, making it difficult to make a budget enjoyable for the majority of MPs.

But France is also staring at the barrel of a spiral public debt equivalent to almost € 50,000 per French citizen.

Barnier and Byiro were also removed as a result of their budgets proposed, which would lead to significant cuts – with politicians on the left, instead of calling for tax raising.

“Of course, we would like more stability in the government, but whether it is Lecornu or someone else, we want the workers to be truly taken into account,” the bankruptcy Alexander Duboa told the BBC.

“And we must move away from this logic of short -term economic results.”
