Toulouse: Riots During The 9th Protest Against The Macron' Pension Reform
Protesters run amid clouds of tear gas. Scuffles happened between protesters and riot police during the protest as people reacted with anger to the interview of President Macron to justify the use the 49.3 article to adopt his pension reform without vote and the defeat of the motion of no confidence. Trade unions, political parties, youths, students took to the streets as evrywhere in France. More then 70,000 people protested in Toulouse. Polls show 67% french people say they want the stirkes to intensify the strikes and that 93% of workers oppose the pension reform. 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. Riot police sused dozens of tear gas canisters and a water cannon to disperse the crowd. Toulouse. France. March 23th 2023. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
