This austerity budget represents an assault on French workers and social protections, forcing ordinary people to pay for economic mismanagement. The proposal to eliminate public holidays and freeze welfare spending demonstrates complete disconnection from citizens' needs during a cost-of-living crisis. Opposition parties are right to reject this budget that prioritizes financial markets over French families.
