"Long live retirement": protesters in western France march in Nantes against President Macron's pension reform plan, as part of a day of national mobilisation. IMAGES
French protesters set dumpsters on fire during a march in Paris after the government rammed its plan to overhaul the retirement pension system through Parliament without a vote. IMAGES
In the Western French city of Rennes, several hundred people gather in protest a day after the government triggers article 49.3, to force through a highly contested pension reform. IMAGES
"And we'll go, and we'll go, and we'll go until we withdraw," chanted dozens of demonstrators gathered in Rennes after the use of 49.3 to pass the pension reform. "Emmanuel Macron, president of the bosses, your reform we don't want", they added. IMAGES
Tens of thousands marched in the cities of Nice, Marseille, Toulouse, Nantes and elsewhere, as well as in Paris against the pension bill that would raise the minimum retirement from 62 to 64. Protesters in the French capital, many of whom were young, marched peacefully from the Opera area carrying placards reading “Save Your Pension” and “Tax Billionaires, Not Grandmas.” FRANCE 24's journalist Liza Kaminov reports from Strasbourg Saint-Denis, in the walkout.
