France’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the minimum wage could be increased, opening the door to a key proposal of the leftist bloc

Raising the floor on the basic wage known as the SMIC by around €200 ($217.64) to €1,600 a month net is a core proposal of the New Popular Front, which won the largest share of seats in a snap election two weeks ago, but not enough to govern alone. Source; Bloomberg

BREAKING >>> BIDEN IS DROPPING OUT OF PRESIDENTIAL RACE

US President Joe Biden has abandoned his re-election bid following overwhelming pressure from fellow Democrats, saying that “it was in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down”. The president announced his decision in a letter published to social media on Sunday, throwing this year’s White House race into turmoil with less than four months to go until voters in the world’s biggest economy elect their new leader on November 5. Biden’s announcement follows more than three weeks of wrenching debate among Democrats about his candidacy after a disastrous debate performance against Trump reignited concerns about his mental acuity and damaged his standing among American voters. An Associated Press poll out last week found nearly two-thirds of Democratic voters said Biden should drop out of the race. Source: FT
