French Courts Reject People’s Will & Uphold Macron’s Pension Law, France Erupts in Violence
French President Emmanuel Macron has signed a law increasing the retirement age in France from 62 to 64 and French citizens have been in an uproar. The law does not apply to police and army employees so they can be free and motivated to beat up their fellow French people into submission. | Since mid-January, the country has faced repeated nationwide strikes and riot police have been dealing with increasing violence. ● The French National Assembly rejected a vote of no-confidence against the Government of Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, in the aftermath of the massive protests. ● Macron was forced to appear on TV to ask for ‘calm’ from the population in late March to no avail. Protests, blockages and confrontations intensified as an estimated 3.5 million people took to the streets against Macron’s Pension Reform ‘by decree’. ● On Friday, the despised reforms were approved by the Constitutional Council and large scale protests began almost immediately and turned violent.
