The French have taken to the streets for the 14th time to show their dissatisfaction with pension reform
The French have taken to the streets again. They are unhappy about the pension reform, which increases the retirement age by two years from 62 to 64. In some cities, demonstrations have turned violent and several protesters have been arrested.
Large-scale protests took place on Tuesday in Paris and other French cities. Trade unions have again taken to the streets to persuade the government to revive the bill to raise the retirement age. People are prepared to protest until they are heard.
"- Are you going to give up the protests? - No, we're continuing."
"- The protests are too quiet and that's why the president won't listen to us."
"- Has he won? - Yes, because there's a split among the opposition."
"- My opinion is that we have no choice but to resort to violence. - Really? - You'll see the temptation in the election results, as well as in the streets."
"The President is not doing his job. He travels to different countries to promote peace there, but he doesn't do it in his own country."
There were also demonstrations at Orly airport, which is why flights were delayed. This is the 14th time the French have shown their dissatisfaction with the pension reform, which was enacted by President Emmanuel Macron in mid-April.
