ON CAM: Riots, Arson In Paris As Hundreds Revolt Against Macron Govt Over Unpaid Dues

France is facing a major wave of public-sector protests, with firefighters joining teachers, healthcare workers, civil servants and other workers on the streets.

The protests come amid growing anger over the government’s proposed budget measures and a freeze in public-sector salaries under President Emmanuel Macron.

More than 170 demonstrations have been reported across the country, as unions and workers demand changes to the government’s plans and warn of the impact on public services and household finances.

Firefighters have emerged as a prominent part of the protests, adding pressure on the Macron government as France heads into a crucial budget debate.

The demonstrations highlight growing tensions over spending, wages and the future of France’s public services.
