Nos reporters dans Athénes ('Our reporters in Athens')

Photos of demonstrations in Greece dominate the front page, but their leading article concerns talks today between French unions and Arcelor Mittal. Mittal is looking to cut 1,400 jobs here in France and the paper airs the views of critics of Mittal who say the company is using the financial crisis as an excuse to cut jobs in France. In 2006 Mittal promised to create 2000 jobs this year, not cut back. But those were promises made in a different economic climate, as illustrated by a story in the Chinese press.
