New travel misery in France as unions warn of fresh turmoil

PARIS: The most serious nationwide strike to hit France in years caused new misery for weekend travellers on Saturday, with unions dismissing proposals by the government and warning walkouts would last well into next week.

Unions have vowed a second series of mass demonstrations nationwide on Tuesday after Thursday’s big rallies and there is expected to be little easing of the transport freeze over the coming days. But the yellow vests have also sought to use the momentum of the strike movement and held a fresh protest in Paris on Saturday and others in several cities across France.

The Paris metro will also remain severely disrupted with only the network’s two driverless lines working normally. At least 800,000 took part in rallies around the country on Thursday, according to the interior ministry – one of the biggest demonstrations of union strength in nearly a decade. The Paris Opera and several theatres in the capital have cancelled performances over the last few days due to the strike.
