"Left-leaning protesters"

11 February 2023

A protester is holding a drawing reading ''The dolce vita of rotten people is exploitation of little people'', depicting Borne and Macron. France's labour unions and left parties are leading a fourth wave of nationwide protests against President Emmanuel Macron's plans to make the French work longer before retirement. More than 40,000 people are protesting in Toulouse against the planned reform of the 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 would be lower, especially for women, people with ''short careers'' and those with low wages. The COR (Counsel of Pension Guidance), which depends on the Prime Minister's Office directly, said in its latest report on September 2022 that it sees no need to reform the pension system as its share in the French GDP will remain steady at least until 2070. Nearly all sectors' unions have called for this strike and protest: mining and energy, health, schooling, transportation, truck drivers, refining workers, bank workers, etc. Toulouse, France.

Capitol Police Inspector Thomas Loyd Jr. tells left-leaning protesters that they must remain silent at a Republican press conference denouncing Critical Race Theory, an obvious violation of their First Amendment rights to free speech. This lies in stark contrast to the Capitol Police response to right-wing insurrectionists on January 6, 2021.
