The Philippine Daily Inquirer reports chaotic escape, residents evacuated saying they have to fend for themselves, accusing government of not helping them, some of them complaining about lack of masks to protect themselves from toxic fumes, or their exorbitant prices.

In France, the mobilization against pension reform continues, despite the temporary withdrawal of the pivotal age, agreed by the government. Les Echos evokes "a mobilization of ground which remains strong", with trains stopped, and courts blocked. A situation that would have led the government to embark on a "demining operation", especially vis-à-vis teachers, who could see their career upgraded from 2022 via a general bonus. But the series of gestures proposed by the executive leaves their hunger for a part of the unions, who are still demanding the outright withdrawal of the reform and are today organizing a new day of action. "The smoking of government will not work!" Defies L'Humanité .

Mobilization, also in France, also, heads of hospital departments, who demand an "urgent" reform of the hospital. In a letter to the Minister of Health Agnès Buzyn, and published by Liberation , more than 1,200 of them announce their decision to resign from their supervisory role if negotiations are not started to reform the hospital in depth . "An unprecedented, spectacular, disturbing act", according to Libé - who explains that these executives intend to denounce "the working conditions in public establishments". The newspaper denounces "a managerial macronie which constantly advocates adaptation to constraints, where" the public service is a symbolic poor relation ". "Financial vigilance, rationalization, competitiveness, criticism Liberation , these watchwords put the values ​​of dedication, disinterestedness, nobility of the profession in the background, without which those who serve others end up losing the sense of their mission ".
