Prime Minister François Bayrou presented on Tuesday, July 15, the bitter potion he intends to administer to the French with the next budget. A series of measures that, under the guise of "competitiveness" and "fighting the deficit," sacrifice the rights of workers and the most vulnerable. Bruno Rieth, Stéphane Guérard, and Théo Bourrieau discuss the situation.
