٠٠:٠١:٣٦Thousands took to the streets of Paris on Thursday to protest against the government’s pension reform.
Footage shows thousands of demonstrators marching with flags, signs, and banners as well as chanting slogans, denouncing President Emmanuel Macron's reform project.
Macron plans to use the next 100 days to heal the country from the unrest and protests since the reform bill has been announced. The French president promised measures on improving working conditions, law and order, education and health issues across France.
Earlier this month, the government passed the pension reform, which includes raising the retirement age from 62 to 64, without a vote in the National Assembly, while the Constitutional Court approved the changes last week.
The administration has argued that the reforms are needed to maintain an affordable system. Following the president’s speech, workers’ unions vowed to continue the fight against the changes.
