Christmas Havoc Feared As French Transport Strike Continues

A commuter enter in a train at Gare de L’Est trains station in Paris, on December 13, 2019, during a strike of Paris’ public transports operator RATP and of the French state railway company SNCF employees over French government’s plan to overhaul the country’s retirement system.France reeled under a crippling public transport strike for a 10th day Saturday aimed at forcing the government to scrap a pension revamp, as fears grew of travel mayhem during Christmas.

On Saturday, SNCF managing director Rachel Picard, told Le Parisien daily that “half of the passengers” would have trains to visit family for Christmas” but did not elaborate. Philippe told the Parisien daily in an interview for its Sunday edition that the French would not accept being “deprived” of festive transport options.“Everybody must take their responsibilities. I do not think the French would accept people depriving them of this moment,” Philippe warned.

Policemen meanwhile ended their protest on Friday after managing to get assurances that their early retirement scheme would be maintained, owing to the “dangerous” nature of their job. The average French person retires at just over 60, years earlier than most in Europe or other rich OECD countries.

There’s is Transportation. They could still spend Christmas in their homes peacefully should they wish to....unlike Nigeria! So talk about what’s in your face. Nigeria that is.

Really? Even in that place.
