French President Macron’s pension overhaul through a decree ignites fresh protests and escalates strikes across the country
Protesters have blocked a key highway around the French capital and escalated strikes at refineries in a new show of anger after President Emmanuel Macron pushed through a contentious pension reform without a parliamentary vote.
Macron's move sparked protests across the country on Thursday night, with more than 300 people arrested nationwide, according to the interior minister.Soumaya Gentet, 51, a CGT union member from supermarket chain Monoprix, said she was incensed and would continue to protest until the bill was revoked.Her colleague Lamia Kerrouzi agreed. "Macron doesn't give a fig about the people," she said.
Workers had already been on a rolling strike at the northern site TotalEnergies de Normandie, but halting production would escalate the industrial action.
