STORYLINE:
Hundreds took to the streets on Thursday in Nantes in northwestern France to demonstrate against President Emmanuel Macron’s government and its proposals to cut funding for public services that underpin the French way of life.
Led by union leaders, protests were planned nationwide.
Major trade unions are pushing for the abandonment of proposed budget cuts, social welfare freezes, and other measures.
These cuts, aimed at reducing France’s massive deficit, have triggered the collapse of previous governments.
The government has deployed about 80,000 police officers to maintain order.
