#frenchprotests2023

Footage shared on social media showed Bordeaux's city hall ablaze on the ninth day of demonstrations in France against the pension age being raised from 62 to 64. Unions claimed 3.5 million people turned out across the country – the authorities gave the figure as 1.1 million – for a largely peaceful national day of action to demand that the government drop the fiercely contested change. French president Emmanuel Macron said the legislation – pushed through parliament without a vote – would come into force by the end of the year, despite the widespread anger. #frenchprotests #france #franceprotests #frenchprotests2023 #paris #bordeaux #paris #macron #strike #protest #frenchtiktok | Protesters gathered across the country for a national day of action to oppose the reforms | Bordeaux city hall set alight as protests against rising pension age in France continue | The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has raised the pension age from 62 to 64 | The largely peaceful protests were marred by outbreaks of violence and vandalism
