Hi everyone.

"He intends to restore competitiveness to France with an auto-da-fé of all that ails a nation performing dramatically below its potential, starting with the Jacobin code du travail, the breeze block-sized labour law compilation that poisons enterprise in a country where the customer is always wrong."

I'm not sure what they mean by 'breeze block- sized labour law compilation. It's an article about the french president so the 'he' refers to him.

Thank you.

It means that the compilation of labour laws forms a book the size of a breeze block, which is a kind of concrete building block. In other words, the author is drawing attention to the great length and complexity of the labour laws.
