France’s lower house passes labour bill amid protests





France’s lower house of parliament has voted to pass a draft law overhauling the labour system despite widespread union protests against the bill, opening the way for a debate in the Senate later this month.


The vote came as Socialist President Francois Hollande spent the last week fending off accusations of a cover-up after his former budget minister admitted lying about a secret foreign bank account at a time when the government is already struggling to reverse a rise in unemployment and meet its economic targets.
