Many Clashes During Demonstration In Rennes

Far-left activists organized in a black bloc targeted symbols of capitalism and clashed with police during a demonstration against the French Government's pension reform hours after it was signed into law in Rennes, western France, on April 15, 2023. French President Emmanuel Macron signed his controversial reforms into law after the Constitutional Council approved the essence of the legislation on April 14, 2023, including the headline change of raising the retirement age from 62 to 64, defying three months of protests and pleas from unions not to implement the legislation.
