Thousands of demonstrators fill the streets of Lille, northern France, answering the call of the inter-union coalition for a nationwide day of protest. The movement seeks to influence the budgetary choices of new Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and marks the first display of renewed union unity since the mass mobilisation against the contested pension reform in 2023.
