France wakes up to another day of nationwide disruption on Thursday as hundreds of thousands of people are expected to join strikes and demonstrations against the government’s new austerity measures.
Eight major trade unions have called on citizens to take to the streets around the country against what they describe as “brutal” budget plans announced over the summer.
The collapse of François Bayrou’s government last week has not deterred union leaders, who maintain their call for mobilisation.
Authorities are bracing for one of the largest demonstrations since the pension reform protests two years ago. Intelligence services estimate between 600,000 and 900,000 people could take part nationwide, including up to 100,000 in Paris.
