Macron said Sahrawi was “neutralized by French forces.” He did not specify whether Sahrawi’s death was through a targeted operation.
My message to Mr. Lecornu today is this: it's the streets that must decide the budget," Sophie Binet, head of the CGT union, told reporters.
Regional train traffic was heavily affected, while Paris Metro lines operated limited service outside peak hours.
Union leaders said they were fighting proposals for budget cuts and social welfare freezes that they argue would worsen inequality.
"This is a warning, a clear warning to Sébastien Lecornu."
