Hundreds of thousands of workers are expected to take part in a strike across France on Thursday after the unions called for protests against the budget.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs said from 600,000 to 900,000 people could be present at a demonstration across the country, adding that it would deploy 80,000 police officers.
The strikes occurred only a week after Sebastien Locorna, a close ally of President Emmanuel Macron, was appointed Prime Minister after that Division of Government François Bayer.
Public transport was heavily thwarted on Thursday morning, and numerous subway in Paris was closed, while participants of the rally blocked roads and streets in major cities of France.
Students gathered in front of schools and universities of the capital and abroad, blocking the entrances and chanted slogans. About a third of the teachers came out.
Pharmacists also stick with strikes in a state, 98% of pharmacies are expected to remain closed.
Trade unions have called for additional costs for public services, higher taxes on wealthy and budget reducing, the baiur government has set out.
Sophie Binet, leader of one of the main union groups of France, a common work confederation (CGT), said: “We must be in force, and here’s how we are collecting strength to continue fighting … To force the government and employers to put an end to politics that serve only the richest.”
Bruno Retalo, Minister of Internal Affairs, said 58 people had been arrested by the middle of the morning.
“We will be uncompromising and tireless,” Retal warned, adding that he gave the police to make arrests as soon as the slightest slip. “
Jean-Luk Melehon, leader of the French Radical Party Unbowed (LFI), asked the strike participants to be “disciplined”.
“Any violent actions will serve only one person, Mr. Retal,” he said.
On the eve of the protest, Paris Prosecutor Laurent Nunes expressed concern that the demonstrations would “disrupt” to distant left -wing groups and urge shops in the city center to close the day.
Last week strikes on Thursday came after the protests participated in the protests organized by The Massroots Bloquons Tout (let’s block everything) that last week, which caused some violations across France.
Bair’s unpopular budget – aimed at reducing the high state debt of France with € 44 billion (£ 38 billion) – made him lose confidence in the National Assembly last week when the political spectrum parties united to overthrow it.
The new Prime Minister Sebastien Locorna, who still has to gather a ministerial team, has not completely abandoned the reduction and negotiated with the opposition parties in an attempt to reach a budget compromise.
The position of the leakna is dangerous. Like its two predecessors, Bayra and Michel Barnier, he is confronted with a hanged parliament divided into three blocks with deeply different political preferences, which makes it difficult to create a budget pleasant for most MPs.
But France also looks at a barrel of spiral government debt, which is equivalent to almost 50,000 euros per citizen of France.
Barnier and Bayra were also beaten as a result of the proposed budgets, which would entail significant cuts – with politicians to the left, instead, calling for taxes.
