Le Monde: The anti-state crusade: A form of populism also affecting France
Eric Ciotti, former president of France's conservative Les Républicains, used a fake chainsaw in a theatrical display to advocate for drastic public spending cuts, inspired by Argentina's President Javier Milei. He proposed cutting €600 billion over five years and eliminating a third of state agencies.
This performance highlights a growing trend among French right-wing politicians who are increasingly looking to Milei's radical methods as a model for reform. Figures like Valérie Pécresse have expressed admiration for such approaches, signaling a potential shift in French political dynamics.
Fox News: Unions sue Trump administration over ‘arbitrary and capricious’ employee buyout offers
The Trump administration has set a deadline of February 6 for nearly 2 million federal employees to either accept a buyout or return to in-person work, prompting unions to file a lawsuit against the offer, which they claim is "arbitrary and capricious." The American Federation of Government Employees argues that the buyout plan lacks proper funding and could lead to mass resignations.
The buyout excludes certain public safety employees and is part of Trump's broader strategy to enforce accountability within the federal workforce. The unions are seeking a temporary restraining order to halt the directive, asserting it misleads employees and jeopardizes government functionality.
