Debate on a minimum wage increase in France ahead of the November 5 mobilization

In late October 2026, Medef Sud denounced a 'smicardization of society' and called on businesses to mobilize, while minimum-wage workers in Dreux testified to difficulties making ends meet. In early November, a fact-check looked back at the evolution of the minimum wage in Europe and the Senate was divided over a revaluation above the legal formula. Unions are demanding an increase of 100 to 150 euros and are calling for a demonstration on November 5, while the government is considering advancing the revaluation to December 1 and the Labor Minister is warning about employment and inflation. Positions also diverge among employers' organizations and 2027 presidential candidates, before Roland Lescure raised the possibility of an announcement 'in the coming days' and FO called for a flash negotiation on wages. On November 5, unions demanded a response from Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu on purchasing power before Friday.
