Violent protests in France over Macron’s retirement age push

Angry protesters took to the streets in Paris 

If it were in Japan, it would be a peaceful police escorted stroll down Meiji boulevard taking a left turn at the Omotesando intersection while shouting in unison:

Raising retirement age Hantai! Raising retirement age Hantai!

62 to 64 Hantai! 62 to 64 Hantai!

Ya gada love those French. Won't let their government so lightly process the population into serfdom.

Mak'em pay!

Retirement age should be going down in age, not up.

As France teeters on the outer limits of democracy, the gloves of its enraged people will soon come off. To quote the "stable genius", "It's gonna be wild!"

Macron is fresh from his victory over that neo-fascist Le Pen and then he pulls this crapola on his fellow French.

He should also remember the whole story and evolution of the French Revolution. While he is not King Louis XIV and this isn't 1789, he needs to read those history books and think harder about all this.

France does have its history of removing tyrants.

Bah the lefts arch nemesis "arithmetic" has won.

IMO 64 didn't take it far enough.

Retirement equality is the real issue, but common sense also seems to be a hurdling block for French politicians.

Let eat cake,I hope Macron know his history,it obviously,he has not learned

I admire how the French stand up for themselves.

Good for them! As Fizzbit said, the age should be going down, not up.

They can have their cake and eat it too,

Why? The population is aging. So supporting pensions is becoming more expensive with less young people to pay for it.
