France is bracing for a wave of street protests over Nicolas Sarkozy's handling of the economic crisis. The expected strike is going to be having the widest of public support in the current decade. Public sector strikers such as teachers, transport workers and hospital staff will join an unprecedented new protest movement.
They are protesting against both Sarkozy's cuts to France's public sector and welfare state. Most of those involved fear the dreaded French scourge: unemployment, which is now rising at the fastest rate in more than a decade.
Unions predict the demonstrations will be bigger than the estimated 2.5 million people who took to the streets in a strike over pay and job losses in January.
