French Socialists Press Macron Government for Budget Concessions

The French Socialist Party is negotiating with the new Prime Minister to change the country's budget.

They want less spending cuts, a tax on the rich, and to stop changes to pensions.

The Socialists are popular, but if they push too hard, the government might call for new elections.

France has a big budget problem.

They also want to scrap the previous pension changes.

There are also nationwide protests being planned.
