French employees may receive seven days off after the death of a close friend, as part of a new electoral program proposed by La France insoumise (LFI) for the 2027 presidential elections. This initiative aims to extend bereavement leave beyond family members to include friends, addressing the lack of legal recognition for such relationships. The program, presented by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, includes 1,069 measures, with significant changes to sick leave, minimum wage, and working hours. Other proposals include allowing self-declared sick leave, increasing the minimum wage to €1,700, and reducing the retirement age to 60. These measures are contingent on the outcome of the upcoming elections and the formation of a supportive parliamentary majority.
