Why are the French angry with their government? | The Hindu

In Paris, there is growing unrest over the government’s decision to change the state pension age from 62 to 64. This means people would have to work longer to get a full state pension.

French President Emmanual Macron rushed a reform in the Lower House of Parliament to increase the retirement age from 62 to 64 without holding a vote. Protesters in Paris clashed with the police at the Place de la Concorde, near the National Assembly.

What does the new pension reform seek to do? Why has this made people angry?

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Thanks to speak about us. Since 10 years, France is not the same anymore. French are suffering. We have lost many of our human rights. We can not speak free, we cannot think freely. Now it is more a dictature going on the move. 80 % of the French are against this reform because the system has enough money to survive !!! But as you know Black Rock has a big office in Paris and his boss received a high French State Honor from the hands of the President ... Many famous economists say this money is wanted by american financial system such Black Rock. Reason why when all French go to the streets they take bigbig risks. The leaders dont want to use the referendum !!! Now it is not a free country anynore. Only because one !!!
