Students shout while holding a banner that reads 'Against war culture, angry students'. As Macron states that France must adopt a 'war economy', French regions, departments, and city councils make drastic cuts in their budgets. Hundreds of people gather first in front of the town hall of Toulouse, the Capitole, to perform a die-in in red and black before gathering with other sectors behind the town hall. They make drastic cuts in all cultural arts, leisure centers, libraries, and community youth clubs, and they lay off people. In Toulouse, some libraries, theaters, and youth community centers will close next year. Students and protesters say that instead of increasing military spending, they should preserve culture and social services from the deepening cuts. In Toulouse, France, on March 27, 2025.
