PARIS, (APP/AFP) – France’s government will hold an
extraordinary cabinet meeting on Tuesday to allow the presidency to bypass parliament to force through a highly contested labour reform, several ministers told AFP.
The ministers will meet at 2:30 pm (1230 GMT) to approve the
Socialist government’s recourse to a constitutional article that was used controversially last year to push through a law that liberalised some economic activities, including the extension of Sunday trading hours.
