Protesters to join nationwide march as France braces for day of strike action

France is experiencing widespread disruption as trade unions organise a nationwide strike. Rail and air traffic staff, alongside hospital workers, teachers, and post office employees, are expected to participate. Hundreds of thousands will march in protests regarding rising living costs and poor education conditions. While train travel is heavily affected, no major flight disruptions have been reported. These events occur as President Emmanuel Macron faces domestic crises and struggles to pass a budget within a divided parliament.
