PARIS — France is bracing for a whole bunch of 1000’s of protesters in opposition to a pension overhaul that has triggered among the nation’s worst unrest in years, with demonstrators blocking roads and marching onto the tracks of a central Parisian prepare station Tuesday.
The strikes, which have shut down railways and faculties in current days, pile stress on President Emmanuel Macron to resolve a standoff with unions over his plan to lift the retirement age from 62 to 64. Protests in current days have degenerated into clashes on the streets of Paris, that are already heaving with rubbish as trash collectors stay on strike.
