Workers marched across France in anger at President Emmanuel Macron’s increase in the retirement age on Monday, with police firing tear gas in Paris and the western city of Nantes, as protesters joined Labor Day rallies across Europe.
Macron’s popularity has plunged to near record lows hit during the “Yellow Vest” crisis after he stared down trade unions and multi-sector strikes and lifted the retirement age by two years to 64.
The legislation also requires people to work 43 years to receive a full pension, among other changes to the system.
