On Thu, Sep 25, 2025, widespread nationwide strikes were organized by trade unions across France. The demonstrations were in response to austerity measures and spending cuts proposed by the government. These strikes are part of ongoing protests against fiscal policies.

The Ministry of the Interior reported that approximately 85,000 individuals participated in the strikes throughout the country, excluding Paris. In contrast, previous demonstrations attracted much larger crowds. The police estimated the attendance at the previous protests to be around 500,000, while trade unions claimed one million participants. Clashes between demonstrators and police were noted, resulting in the deployment of tear gas and 140 arrests.

In anticipation of the protests, France deployed approximately 76,000 police officers, including 5,000 in Paris. Authorities expected around 250 rallies to occur nationwide.

The strikes are a response to an austerity budget aimed at reducing the national deficit and debt. The measures include cuts to local government spending and health services, as well as a freeze on government expenditure. President Emmanuel Macron's government, lacking a parliamentary majority, faces challenges in implementing these fiscal policies due to fragmented opposition.

Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has indicated plans to adjust the previous administration's approach. However, he emphasized the importance of maintaining France’s financial credibility. Union leaders have cautioned against similar budget proposals and are advocating for fiscal reforms, including a wealth tax and adjustments to pension policies.

Lecornu is expected to present a new budget proposal shortly. Union leaders continue to call for equitable distribution of fiscal responsibilities and have expressed dissatisfaction with current measures.
