Toulouse: 5th Day Of Nationwide Strikes And Protests Against Macron's Pension Reform

Protesters hold a banner reading 'Social, economic, climatic crisis, oppressive laws, when will you react ?' France's labour unions and left parties led a 5th wave of nationwide protests against President Emmanuel Macron's plans to make the French work longer before retirement. More than 30,000 people protested in Toulouses against the planned reform of pension and retirement age to 64 from 62, a move opinion polls show is opposed by a vast majority (93%) of workers already facing a cost-of-living crisis. The retirement age would be raised to 64 years (for 43 years of continued work) and the pensions will be lower specially for women, 'short careers' and low wages people. The COR (Counsel of Pension Guidance), which depends of the Prime minister Office directly, said on September 2022 in its latest report that it sees no needs to reform the pension system as it shares in the French GDP will remain steady at least 2070.
