Eiffel Tower closes amid strikes held across France against austerity

Thousands of French citizens protested across over 200 locations on Thursday against proposed spending cuts and to demand higher taxes on the wealthy. Unions are urging Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to reject austerity measures. While some transport services experienced disruptions, overall participation appeared lower than previous demonstrations. The protests highlight significant social anger amid ongoing budget talks.
