In France, thousands of protesters poured into the streets of Paris, Marseille, Nantes, Rennes, Toulouse and Bordeaux Wednesday in the latest mass demonstration against French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposed pension overhaul. In Paris, thousands of protesting firefighters clashed with riot police. French workers and unions have staged mass demonstrations for months to protest the pension overhaul. This is one of the protesters.

Protester: “It’s scandalous. They’re putting us in a 'hold-up' situation with ordinances and executive orders. Macron is presenting an incomplete bill. We say France is not a dictatorship, but it starts to seem that way if that’s the way it works.”
