Hundreds of Thousands Strike Across France for Higher Wages
On November 5, 2026, over 250,000 striking workers marched in 73 French cities protesting the rising cost of living. The demonstrations, organized by the CGT union, mark an escalation after weeks of protests. These events come amid economic challenges in France and six months before presidential elections, with far-right candidates leading in polls against centrist Emmanuel Macron.
