Riots Erupt In France After Increase In Retirement Age

The French are showing some resistance! 🇫🇷

Furious rioting erupted in France after Emmanuel Macron imposed a retirement age increase.
 
Police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse demonstrators who set fires and threatened the president’s mansion.

Macron caused fury on Thursday by using an emergency presidential decree to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 as he faced defeat in a key National Assembly vote. 

Hundreds of people marched to the streets in Paris and other cities, targeting buildings and clashing with police.

Do you agree with the current protests taking place?
