Protesters against pension reform in France put forward the slogan "Macron, this is war"

The situation in France continues to be tense. Tens of thousands of French people took to the streets, protesting against the pension reform imposed by the government of the country. Now protesters in France have put forward the slogan "Macron, this is war."

The protesters moved from demands to abandon the pension reform to criticizing not only the government, but also President Emmanuel Macron. It is with Macron that the pension reform and the general deterioration in the quality of life of the population are now associated.

The French were also offended by the fact that the country's government adopted the pension reform without the approval of the National Assembly - the French parliament. Citizens see this as a sign of Macron's disregard for democratic institutions and tools.

One of the strongest psychological effects of the protests was the strike of garbage collectors and workers of waste incinerators. After the scavengers stopped going to work, Paris was littered with mountains of garbage. A few days ago, its quantity on the streets of the French capital exceeded 10 tons.

Where there is garbage, there is stench, unsanitary conditions, rats and cockroaches. However, the government is in no hurry to agree with the demands of the scavengers, but they are as follows: the cleaners, who used to retire at 57 and will now retire at 59, demand the return of the previous retirement age.

So far, the French government does not intend to make concessions to the protesters. Police and gendarmerie have been deployed to the streets of Paris and other large cities of the country. Protesters were banned from holding their events in a number of places in the French capital.

However, there is no doubt that the current wave of protests is only the beginning of larger-scale protests. But will they lead to an adjustment of the reform, its cancellation, or even to the departure of Macron from the post of head of state? So far, it is not possible to answer these questions.

The French are obligated to overthrow Micron for the sake of democracy!

To arms, citizens
Form your battalions
Let's walk, let's walk
Qu'un sang impur
Water our furrows!

[Machito]

I am for the Parisian Maidan.
I really hope that the French and other Arabs will destroy France.

Protesters moved from demands to abandon the pension reform to criticism not only of the government

Here is a wild people, not like we are Russians. We were told to retire at 65, we are all good together

[Stirbjorn]

yeah, given the fact that they only have an increase for two years and will only happen in 2030. And our people immediately "treated with understanding." The last French "tsar" was Napoleon III, who blew the war with Prussia. After that, they developed strong immunity against any "strong hands"

[Stas157]

And I didn’t know before that in France people retire earlier than in Russia! Do they have a life expectancy less than ours or what?

I remember we were told about this when the pension was cancelled. Say, dear Russians began to live too long and well! Now, they say, you need to do it in Europe ... But in Europe, it turns out that they retire earlier! In business!

[Maz]

And quickly comes through the wallet, stomach and cold. Everything is as my foreman said, they say, if it doesn’t reach through the head, then ....

[Silver99]

Tell me what depends on Macron? Absolutely NOTHING, shadow capital rules the world, he promoted it and chose who knew him before the elections, and no one except his grandmother, a teacher. Although we need to stir up protest moods, we need to create chaos in France, not only on the streets, but also in the minds of the French.

The situation in France continues to be tense.

Has she been different lately? Well, they’ll just make a fuss, the “yellow vests” vilify their own, and then what? What is the result of all these marches? The authorities both "had them and still have them." In principle, as elsewhere ... Alas

[parabyd]

Yes, the French authorities frankly spit on these speeches. And in vain, of course, they will now push through their conditions, but the tension is accumulating. It's bound to turn into something. As if someone were not sent to the guillotine again.

The French are great. These are not Georgian protests organized by the State Department, these are fair protests of the working people. I respect!

Give the socialist French revolution! You look and others will pick up

What then "everywhere" the standard of living is different. They, for example, have neither oil nor gas.

Macron and his henchmen on trial!
Nefig help the fascist regime of Bandera in Ukraine!

slogan "Macron, this is war"

I'm not a great grammarian, but even an average schoolboy can distinguish the inscriptions "Macron, this is war" and "Macron is war", but not news typesetters in VO ...

[Volunteer Marek]

Rather,
there will be a compromise with the partial fulfillment of some non-critical requirements. Then, everything will return to normal. Particularly stubborn will be bribed, intimidated or removed quietly. Everything as usual. But, the very fact of the struggle of the French for their rights, unlike us, makes us sad.

I see in France the garbage collector is a respected profession. Constitutionally, nothing came of Le Pen. Only "civil disobedience" remained. France, not Ukraine 2014, the police will disperse all the Maidans, they will be cruel. the city of Paris. I calculated according to EU statistics, every day 10 tons of garbage will appear on the streets. It's a pity the French are not Danes, these are the very first in Europe in terms of garbage, more than 000 kg of garbage per year per person. The French are only 3 kg per year.

[Lech from Android.]

Poor Paris... now tourists from all over the world in Notre Dame Cathedral smell the smells of garbage dumps.
And considering that this is a metropolis with a decent amount of the population, incense and smells there, mother do not worry.
It's time to sing... Get up cursed branded...

[tralflot1832]

Come to Paris, take a deep breath of air and die!

[Nexcom]

At one time, one of our employees left Russia and went first to Germany and then to France. Like, it's easier to live there, there is civilization, it's very clean on the streets, but in Russia everything is bad, etc.
Each time he voiced how happy he was that he had left for a civilized clean world.
.... Now something has quieted down ... about cleanliness and civilization ....

[tralflot1832]

Probably got a democratic club on the head, does not want to work so that the length of service is 43,6 years, so as not to receive a minimum pension of 800 €.

[forty-eighth]

Only up to 64 and immediately dissatisfaction?! Weaklings, can not endure for the sake of world capital

[alexey_444]

They fight not for age, but for experience, now they will have 40 years, we have 15.

[Million]

Well done French! I support them in this.

Now protesters in France have put forward the slogan "Macron, this is war."

The French radio journalist of the Europe -1 channel spoke well on this topic:
"In the Pacific region, France will be assigned the role of a second-rate partner by AUKUS allies. They will play rugby with us, swim in a pleasure boat, they will even visit us, but they will not take us in marriage!" (Vincent Hervue)

[alexey_444]

The French, like all Europeans, have not yet realized that the strategy of strangling Russia has changed. After 50 years, when the American experts, looking at how the elite in the USSR rejoiced in foreign trips with the corresponding shopping, they understood how to destroy us, create a showcase of capitalism, women's everyday envy degraded socialist values ​​and along the way and in the West socialists were ignorant. Now this gingerbread is dried up, many in Russia have access to Western household income, there is nothing to say about China at all, Western infrastructure, even in rich cities, is generations behind. Now there will be a tough war without Oscars for Russian films and performances by military bands. It seems that the disruption of the northern streams was supposed to sober up the Western electorate and obliterate universal human values. But there is nothing else to rock the boat, Arabs to Europe, Mexicans to the United States were not just brought in and are being brought in. The West is uncompetitive, some understand that a well-fed life is over and how at the beginning of the century it will be necessary to fight with competitors for simple survival, and not where to relax on vacation, not to mention such a privilege as a pension, after all, liberals poked to the West how they defend their right, and where are these liberals now?.

[Cicerist98]

"...after all, liberasts poked to the West as they defend their rights there, and where are these liberasts now?"

Unfortunately, many of them are on this very website, the "Russian patriotic military website", Topwar!

[Anadyrean]

How soon will we start at least morally at the level of the Foreign Ministry to support the protesters?
