French demonstrators pour into the streets in latest clash with government over raise in retirement age
Fox News
Demonstrators across France are protesting in the streets over the government's plan to raise the country's retirement age. A French bill would raise the retirement age from 62 to 64.
Veteran left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon predicted "a historic day" of protests and defeat for Macron, as large crowds of protesters marched in cities and towns outside Paris — ahead of a major demonstration planned later Tuesday through the French capital.
"It's not often that we see such a mass mobilization," Mélenchon, speaking in the southern city of Marseille. "It's a form of citizens' insurrection."
