Brussels Announces: “Disrupting French Lunch Constitutes Crime Against Humanity”
Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat report on the EU’s decision to legally protect French lunch breaks.
The Protection
The European Union has declared French lunch breaks to be a protected cultural right. Violating someone’s lunch break now constitutes a human rights violation and potential diplomatic incident.
Le Parisien reported that the ruling states: “A Frenchman’s lunch break is sacred. Interrupting it with work, calls, or emails violates fundamental EU human rights.”
The Enforcement
France 24 noted that companies violating lunch laws face fines and executives face criminal charges. Businesses have simply shut down from 12-2pm to avoid violations.
The Impact
Le Monde reported that productivity has decreased but quality of life has improved. The EU basically codified French laziness into law.
