I’m not French but 1.6% sounds insulting no matter how it scales
It’s worse then that. In France, the minimum wage gets automatically adjusted for inflation every January, that’s where the 1.6% comes from.
His suggestion would be simply making this adjustment happen in December rather than January.
Surely you mean it would happen in December and again in january
France’s national minimum wage would normally be raised on January 1 to reflect inflation, but instead the government will raise it by 1.6% in December, Labour Minister Jean-Pierre Farandou told a press conference.
(Emphasis mine)
So it’s effectively a one-month only bonus of… 24 €.
a planned 1.6% increase in the minimum wage would be brought forward from January to December
Making a planned increase happen a month earlier is so much worse than the headline implies.
The increase fell well short of the demands of unions, which have called for fresh protests in the coming days
Well duh.
Is this a joke?
So, he’s chosen “let them eat cake”?
…Bold move, sir. Do you perhaps read? 🫥

What is that, ~$5/wk? Thafuq.
Wow.
Do you want Le Pen? This is how you get her, what an imbecile move.
The center right is basically okay with fascism, if the alternative is leftist policies.
LOL
