Paris, France:
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls on today invoked a constitutional measure to force through contested labour laws, bypassing parliament.
"This country is too used to mass unemployment," Valls told parliament, saying he was acting in the "general interest" of the French people. "It is not posturing, it's not intransigence," he said.
