France's Castex consults trade unions ahead of lockdown-related defense council meeting

Paris, Nov 24 (Sputnik) French Prime Minister Jean Castex has held consultations with the trade unions to engage them in the decision-making process regarding the health crisis ahead of the upcoming Defense Council meeting, which might bring about easing of the coronavirus lockdown.
The nationwide lockdown has been in effect since October 30. However, as Christmas approaches, many in France wonder whether there will be the mitigation of the virus restrictions. The Defense Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday morning.
"I am discussing this evening with the trade unions and employers' organizations in our country: we are approaching together, in confidence, in consultation and dialogue, the modalities of easing the lockdown. It is by listening to everyone that we will protect everyone's health," Castex tweeted late on Monday.
