Schools, hospitals, government departments, electricity and gas companies: many trade unions are mobilising on 5 December for a day of action against the cost-cutting measures set out in Michel Barnier's government's draft 2025 budget. Or the late Barnier government<\/strong>both the possibility of the adoption of a motion of censure<\/a> is high this Wednesday, even before the start of this strike day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The civil service is the first to be affected by this industrial action, air transport will also be affected<\/strong> due to a cross-industry mobilisation launched by several unions. This prompted the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) to ask airlines to reduce their schedules as a precautionary measure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the Paris region, 10% flights departing from Paris CDG<\/strong> flights are expected to be cancelled on the morning of 5 December, between 6am and midday, while at Paris-Orly, cancellations will take effect from 6pm on Wednesday 4 December, with 25% of flights expected to be cancelled.

In Toulouse, these disruptions will affect 20% flights all day on 5 December.
