Macron's pension reform is not needed!

People took to the streets in Nantes yesterday afternoon against Macron's pension reform. The French have been protesting against the French government's pension reform for weeks, because they want to raise the retirement age to 64 from 2030. Weeks of strikes and demonstrations have so far not shaken Macron's will, but French scenarios always end with the will of the people. Even during covid, the government had to withdraw several measures because riots broke out. In the current situation, the protest is once again national, since all working French are affected by Macron's plan. More than 10,000 protesters were on the streets and the protest lasted until late at night, which the local police could not break up. Tear gas was also used, and the crowd fired back with firework rockets. There was also a fight with the police in the unrest, but so far we have not received any information about injuries. Demonstrations are taking place across France against the pension reform.
