French unions have called for a national day of strike action and widespread protests on Tuesday to pile pressure on the government and MPs ahead of a big day of discussions on the government's 2026 budget proposal.
Three French unions – CGT, FSU and Solidaires – have called for the national, cross-sector strike action as part of ongoing opposition to the draft 2026 Budget, which is currently going through parliament and has to be agreed by the end of the year.
