French decry 'denial of democracy' as Macron's pension reform forced through

Description

"We have to get together, we have to get organised and we have to fight," says a young demonstrator in a rally organised on the Place de la Concorde in Paris, after French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne deploys article 49.3 of the constitution to push through President Emmanuel Macron's controversial reform of the pension system. Another added: "The (article, Eds.) 49.3, is ... the embodiment of several weeks of authoritarianism and a denial of democracy."
