Toulouse: Protest In Support Of Public Services And Against Austerity
The head banner reads, 'For public services for everyone, everywhere, recruitment, good salaries, not guilty to be ill'. Hundreds of protesters march in Toulouse, France, on May 13, 2025, called by trade unions to protest against the new budget for France in 2026. Workers for public services see the waiting period for illness leave go from one day to three, their pay while on illness leave is cut by 10%, and all their bonuses are suppressed. More than anything, they protest against the shrinking of public services such as education, health, children's protection, and public finances. 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 are against 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.
