Social Strike In Paris Against Pension Reform

Protesters shout slogans as they hold a banner during a demonstration to protest against French government's plan to overhaul the country's retirement system, as part of a national general strike in Paris, on December 17, 2019. Tens of thousands of protesters are hitting streets across France on December 17 over a pensions overhaul that has sparked a crippling transport strike, though government officials insist they will not give in to union demands they drop the plan. Pressure on French President is growing after the top official overseeing the pension negotiations was forced to resign over a salary scandal. (Photo by Mehdi Taamallah/NurPhoto)
