At the moment the government is pushing to remove that permission for economic reasons so that anyone anywhere could decide to open on sunday, and the unions and opposition/left are pushing against it for social/worker protection reasons. I don't think the French left is doing that on behalf of the church though
Ahh.. so the same as in Germany.
