François Bayrou, the Prime Minister of France, proposed a radical budget plan to alleviate the country's financial burdens by abolishing two public holidays. This plan aims to reduce state expenditures while increasing defense spending. The proposal has sparked significant political debate and tension, with critics arguing it threatens important commemorative days. Bayrou emphasized the need for the nation to work harder to avoid financial collapse, as the national debt continues to rise rapidly. The plan includes freezing state spending and cutting the number of civil servants. The political landscape is fragmented, and Bayrou faces potential challenges to his leadership.
