The French government announced a 1.6% increase in the minimum wage starting December 1, following weeks of protests over rising living costs. This adjustment raises the minimum salary to approximately €1,502, with a net increase of €23.65. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu stated that this decision was made after discussions with unions and aims to provide economic support without risking job losses. However, union leaders criticized the increase as inadequate, claiming it amounts to only €5 for workers after accounting for previously announced raises. Protests are expected to continue, with unions planning further strikes and demonstrations.
