Thousands took to Paris’s streets yesterday to protest against new presidential decrees that attack workers’ which will turn contracts from “safeguards” into a “paper rag.”

Leftwinger Jean-Luc Melenchon, whose party France Unbowed organised yesterday’s protest, insisted that its not too late to reverse President Emanuel Macron’s diktats.

The French president signed the decrees on Friday, sending them to parliament for approval — with no option of amendment.
