French far-left opposition party leader Jean-Luc Melenchon insisted on Saturday that President Emmanuel Macron’s labour reforms could still be undone despite the president already having approved them by decree.
Melenchon made the comments at the end of a protest march attended by between 30,000 to 150,000 people.
Trade union protests against Macron’s plan to make hiring and firing easier and give companies more power over working conditions seem to be losing steam, but Melenchon says his party wants unions to join them and together keep up the fight.
President Macron has said he will not be forced to bow to street protests.
