Una huelga nacional eleva la presión sobre el Gobierno en Francia

A national strike in France, organized by major unions, increases pressure on President Macron amid ongoing social protests. The unions demand higher minimum wages, improved public services, and fairer taxation. While participation is uneven, the strike highlights widespread discontent, particularly in the public sector. The government is focused on maintaining order, deploying 70,000 police officers to manage potential unrest. The current situation echoes the protests of May 1968, with calls for significant wage increases and investment in education and healthcare. Tensions have arisen during protests, with warnings from the Interior Minister about a strong response to violence. Union leaders emphasize the need for dignity in work and living conditions.
