A protester holds a sheet reading 'Brutal cuts in Toulouse: -40% for associations'. As Macron says France must be put on a 'war economy', French regions, departments, and city councils make drastic cuts in their budgets. People from the culture sector organize a gathering in Toulouse before going to the ENSAV (National Superior School of Visual Arts). From the government level to the city level, all make drastic cuts in culture, 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 sectors from the deepening cuts. In Toulouse, France, on April 10, 2025.
