Toulouse: Protest In Support Of Public Services And Against Austerity

The woman on the left holds a cardboard sign reading 'Don't touch my public servant', while the other on the left holds a placard reading 'Public services my love'. Hundreds of protesters march in Toulouse, France, on May 13, 2025, called by trade unions to protest against the new budget for 2026 in France. Workers in public services see the waiting period for illness leave increase from one day to three, their pay while on illness leave cut by 10%, and all their bonuses eliminated. They protest against the reduction of public services such as education, health, child protection, public finances, etc. The 2026 Bayrou budget plans nearly EUR50 billion in cuts to public services, except for the defense budget. The defense budget is the only one to grow in 2026. Protesters oppose the defense budget and the cuts. Similar protests take place elsewhere in France. The culture sector is one of the main domains impacted by cuts. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
