France's PM wants to scrap two public holidays to help fix public finances
PARIS - French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou proposed scrapping two public holidays as part of a 43.8 billion euro (US$50.88 billion) budget squeeze outlined on Tuesday, even as opposition parties threaten to topple his minority government. 'Everyone will have to contribute to the effort,' Bayrou said, as he spelt out proposals that include freezing non-defense spending next year and not replacing one out of three civil servants when they retire. President Emmanuel Macron has left Bayrou the task of repairing the public finances with the 2026 budget, after his own move to call a snap legislative election last year delivered a hung parliament too divided to tackle the country's spiraling spending and a surprise tax shortfall. Long-time debt hawk Bayrou has tried to warn the French that broad sacrifices are unavoidable, although defense spending will be allowed to increase next year. 'It's the last stop before the cliff, before we are crushed by the debt,' Bayrou said in a speech to members of parliament, cabinet members and journalists. He said the French must not forget the experience of Greece, which went through a full-blown debt crisis over a decade ago and needed multiple international bailouts and years of tough austerity policies to get back on its feet. 'It's late but there is still time,' Bayrou said, adding that France was addicted to public spending and had to change. The squeeze will involve freezing pensions to the same level as they were in 2025, and other welfare and health spending will also be capped. Two public holidays could also be scrapped - possibly Easter Monday and May 8, which commemorates the end of the Second World War in Europe. Bayrou, a veteran centrist politician, must persuade the opposition ranks in France's fractured parliament to at least tolerate his cuts, or risk facing a no-confidence motion like the one that toppled his predecessor in December over the 2025 budget. If he fails, a new political crisis could trigger more credit ratings' downgrades and drive up the cost of interest payments, which are already set to become the single biggest drain on the budget at over 60 billion euros. Any risk of a no-confidence motion would likely only firm up once a detailed budget bill goes to parliament in October. Defence spending As he announced a new hike in defense spending on Sunday, Macron urged lawmakers not to trigger another no-confidence motion, saying that the one in December had hurt companies and set a defense build-up back by delaying the 2025 budget. Left-wing parties will likely balk at welfare cuts, while the far right warns a broad spending freeze is unfair to French citizens and could prompt them to oppose Bayrou's plans. In the final two years of his second term, the dramatic deterioration of the public finances may tarnish Macron's legacy. A political outsider, he was first elected in 2017 on promises to break the right-left divide and modernize the euro zone's second-biggest economy with growth-friendly tax cuts and reforms. Successive crises - from protests, COVID-19 and runaway inflation - have shown he has failed to change the country's overspending habit, however. Bayrou aims to reduce the budget deficit from 5.4% of GDP this year to 4.6% in 2026, ultimately targeting the EU's 3% fiscal deficit limit by 2029. With interest payments potentially becoming the biggest budget outlay, financial markets and ratings agencies are keen to see whether Bayrou can get his plans through parliament without triggering another political collapse.

Hong Kong opens probe into AI-generated porn scandal at university
Hong Kong's privacy watchdog said Tuesday it has launched a criminal investigation into an AI-generated porn scandal at the city's oldest university, after a student was accused of creating lewd images of his female classmates and teachers. Three people alleged over the weekend that a University of Hong Kong (HKU) law student fabricated pornographic images of at least 20 women using artificial intelligence, in what is the first high-profile case of its kind in the Chinese financial hub. The university sparked outrage over a perceived lenient punishment after it said Saturday it had only sent a warning letter to the student and demanded he apologise. But Hong Kong's Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data said Tuesday that disclosing someone else's personal data without consent, and with an intent to cause harm, could be an offence. The watchdog 'has begun a criminal investigation into the incident and has no further comment at this stage', it said, without mentioning the student. The accusers said in a statement Saturday that Hong Kong law only criminalises the distribution of 'intimate images', including those created with AI, but not the generation of them. There is no allegation so far that the student spread the deepfake images, and so 'victims are unable to seek punishment... through Hong Kong's criminal justice system', they wrote. The accusers said a friend discovered the images on the student's laptop. Experts warn the alleged use of AI in the scandal may be the tip of a 'very large iceberg' surrounding non-consensual imagery. 'The HKU case shows clearly that anyone could be a perpetrator, no space is 100 percent safe,' Annie Chan, a former associate professor at Hong Kong's Lingnan University, told AFP. Women's rights advocates said Hong Kong was 'lagging behind' in terms of legal protections. 'Some people who seek our help feel wronged, because they never took those photos,' said Doris Chong, executive director at the Association Concerning Sexual Violence Against Women, referring to cases at the group's crisis centre. 'The AI generations are so life-like that their circulation would be very upsetting.' Asked about the case at a Tuesday press briefing, Hong Kong leader John Lee said most of the city's laws 'are applicable to activities on the internet'. HKU said on Saturday it will review the case and take further action if appropriate.
