French judges go on strike
Judges and lawyers across France went on massive strike last Wednesday, demanding changes in working conditions. The protesters were not satisfied with the excessive workload and the need to consider the maximum number of cases in the shortest possible time.
According to Le Monde, 17 trade unions organized the strike. However, representatives of the judicial system did not take to the streets right away - at the end of November, they sent the authorities an appeal with the headline ‘We no longer want to have a judicial system where no one is heard and where everything is strictly timed’.
The authorities have already reacted to the demonstrations by promising to increase the number of places in the magistracy.
