The Prime Minister of France has Signed his Own “Political Death Sentence” by Proposing to Cancel Victory Day and a Number of Social Benefits, Writes Politico
Bayrou proposed to deprive the French of vacations, freeze their social security, and save billions of dollars on healthcare in order to save the budget.
But most of all, the general outrage, as the publication writes, was caused by Bayrou’s call to cancel two of the 11 public holidays in France. He named Easter Monday and Victory in Europe Day on May 8 as two potential candidates for cancellation.
Opposition leader Marine Le Pen has already promised to overthrow Bayrou’s government.
