Unions Protest Against Macron's Choice Of Barnier As Prime Minister And For Better Wages And Work Conditions

The head banner reads 'raise of salaries, withdrawal of the retirement reform' (left) and 'Money for public services, for industrial jobs'. Between 3,000 and 5,000 protesters march in Toulouse, France, on October 1, 2024, called by the FSU, the CGT, and the SUD unions to protest against Macron's choice of Michel Barnier (conservative) as prime minister. Unions call this protest to remind President Macron that the first coalition elected in June in the French Parliament is the New Popular Front. They also lead for better wages. They accuse the president of ignoring election results by naming Michel Barnier (LR, Right) as prime minister. The left, led by LFI, accuses Macron of a denial of democracy and stealing the election after Macron refuses to pick the candidate of the New Popular Front (NFP) alliance that comes top in the July vote. The left and the far-left unionize in a new umbrella called 'Nouveau Front Populaire' (i.e., 'New Popular Front'). President Emmanuel Macron calls a snap legislative election in June and is defeated. The new prime minister will try to govern with a coalition of Macronist and rightists. The RN (far right) says it will judge on pieces. Similar protests take place elsewhere in France.
