French pension reform: Protesters in Paris marched peacefully with a very heavy police presence
Issued on: Modified:
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.
