PARIS: In a bid to bring an end to the "yellow vest" protests, French President Emmanuel Macron Monday announced a 100-euro per month increase in the minimum wage as of next year.
French President, in a televised speech, said firms would not have to foot the bill for the increase. He made the decision of an increase in the minimum wage to bring an end to the "yellow vest" protests which have rocked the country.
In his address to the nation, Macron also appeared to be more humble than usual as he sought to address criticism of his style of leadership. “I know that I have hurt some of you with my statements,” he added.
