In France, strikes continue nationwide in protest of French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposed pension overhaul, which would effectively raise the retirement age for younger workers. More than half a million people took to the streets Tuesday across France in support of the strike. More than 60% of the French population supports the strike, despite disruptions to transportation and other public services. This is one Parisian commuter.
Commuter: “The strikers are right. They’re right to strike. If you what to be heard, that’s the way it is. There is no other solution but to strike. That’s the way it is.”
