France's embattled leader Emmanuel Macron has announced a new large-scale labour reform, hoping to revive his political standing with a new “life-at-work pact” in the wake of a pension reform crisis that angered the nation and marred his second presidential mandate.
France faces another wave of widespread protests and strikes following an unproductive discussion between the prime minister and labor unions. The failure to reach a compromise on the unpopular pension reform, which extends the working years for individuals, has fueled two-and-a-half months of public discontent. Hundreds of thousands of people protested against Emmanuel Macron's pension reform to raise the minimum age from 62 to 64. Pension protestors in France were gathered outside of BlackRock's Paris headquarters. The protestors have now stormed the building. Here are the current scenes from Paris.
