The resonant resignation of the French prime minister was preceded on Thursday by mass demonstrations across the country, including in Paris, Sputnik’s correspondent reports. Thousands of public sector workers took to the streets in the capital – they are unhappy with the government’s “austerity” budget, which was expected to be adopted for 2025. According to media reports, employees are complaining about low salaries and layoffs. The resignation of Barnier and the cabinet could have eased the situation – this means that instead of the proposed 2025 budget, the current conditions will continue to apply. But de facto little has changed – employees are still wary of the government’s policies and are afraid that things will only get worse. The demonstrators chanted “Macron resign!” and the slogans on their posters expressed contempt for the country’s leadership. Subscribe to [club80289214|@SputnikInt] Source: Sputnik International
