French Unions plan nationwide strike over budget, retirement age, and public services

Another day of strikes and protests is scheduled for Thursday in France, led by the country’s unions, who are demanding the full withdrawal of the government’s budget plan and opposing the proposed increase in the retirement age to 64. The demonstrations also aim to highlight the need for fiscal justice and proper funding for public services. The strike is expected to impact various public sectors, and France 2’s Simon Moritz provides more details on how these services will be affected.
