The demonstrators, who set fire to rubbish bins, included “Yellow Vests” anti-government activists, whose name is derived from the high-visibility jackets worn at their protests.President Emmanuel Macron has said reforms are essential to simplify the convoluted pensions system, but his opponents say they will mean many French people having to work for longer.
“If the currently proposed system passes in the way it is laid out, it will be a social catastrophe. Already, the previous reforms are seeing people retire with measly pensions,” added Maheo, taking part in the Paris demonstration.
