France strikes: 10th day of nationwide protests over pension reform plan

Description

France's controversial pension reform law may have already been forced through parliament, but public anger here over the move to push the retirement age from 62 to 64 is still palpable. Protest marches are planned across the country today, with police on high alert for more potential violence like the kind that broke out at the last rallies over the weekend. One of the most visible signs of the protests have been the mounds of garbage piling up in cities across France as trash collectors continue their strike. France 24's Clovis Casali reports from an incinerator is the town of Ivry, east of Paris.

France braces for 10th day of nationwide strikes and protests

It is crucial week for the future of the French government’s plans to reform the pension system. Another huge strike is planned by the unions for Tuesday, and any significant dip in the number of people taking part in demonstrations will weaken their cause. If the numbers hold up, will the government offer an olive branch to try to calm the situation? For the unions, however, olive branches will not be enough: they want the plans to be simply withdrawn, or at least paused. For Perspective, we spoke to Richard Werly, France correspondent for the Swiss newspaper Blick.
