French protests turn violent as pensions fury rages | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

French riot police officers stand guard during a demonstration against pension reforms in Paris on March 23, 2023, a week after the government pushed a pensions reform through parliament without a vote, using the article 49.3 of the constitution. – French unions on March 23, 2023, staged a new day of disruption against President Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform after he defiantly vowed to implement the change, with refineries at a standstill and mass transport cancellations.

It is also threatening to cast a shadow over the visit to France next week of King Charles III, the first foreign visit he has made as monarch. Fires were lit in the street, with pallets and piles of uncollected rubbish set ablaze, prompting firefighters to intervene, AFP correspondents said. School teacher Cedric Nothias, 46, held up a sign that read: “How does one teach democracy when Macron is trampling all over it?”

Anger surged after a defiant Macron said on Wednesday that he was prepared to accept unpopularity over the pensions reform which he said was “necessary”. In the southern city of Marseille, Marine Danaux, 43, said she had brought her son to the protest “so he realises what’s going on”.
