Austerity Backlash: Cahors Protesters Blast Government for Prioritizing Military Service Funding Over Schools

Approximately sixty protesters gathered in Place Gambetta in Cahors this cold Tuesday in December, voicing their strong disapproval of the government's budgetary austerity policy. Organized by the CGT, FSU, and Solidaires unions, the demonstrators chanted criticisms, including the striking phrase: "They find money for military service, but not for our students." The public expression of discontent highlights growing anger among union members and educators over perceived underfunding of the education sector compared to other state initiatives. #France #Protest #Austerity #EducationCuts
