It’s come to this: from the BBC,
France’s Prime Minister François Bayrou has proposed cutting two public holidays as part of a 2026 budget proposal to slash overall spending while also increasing defense expenses.
Bayrou suggested axing Easter Monday and 8 May, a day that commemorates the Allied victory at the end of World War Two in Europe.
I’m sure that, somehow, it’s all Trump’s fault.
I was amazed to discover that there are currently only 11 national holidays in France, exactly matching the number in America. England has just eight.
Things are tough all over.
