While French President Macron is in Beijing making deals, the French people are storming the offices of BlackRock during their rioting over a pension bill that raises the age or retirement from 62 to 64. BlackRock doesn’t have anything to do with the reform bill, but a protesting school teacher told Reuters that BlackRock has been targeted because of its work with private pension funds.
Business Today reports France’s interior ministry estimated 570,000 people to have joined in Thursday’s protests against President Emmanuel Macron’s overhauling of the pension policy – but trade unions place this number at nearly 2 million.
Protesters clashed with the police, shops were looted, bank windows were smashed, Macron’s favorite restaurant was burnt, and the BlackRock office in Paris was invaded in the course of the protest. Police fired teargas, while protesters used firecrackers during the demonstrations.
The protesters have paid into the fund for their entire working lives. Using an emergency measure, Macron took some of their benefits away without going through the legislature.
The protests and riots are nationwide.
Macron is in Beijing trying to convince Xi to push Putin to stop bombing Ukraine. That’s a useless effort. He should go home and handle his domestic problems. No one in the legislature voted for this pension reform, and the people are angry. If politicians let Social Security and Medicare collapse, we’ll also see unrest here.
FRANCE – Protestors outside the head office of BLACKROCK in Paris.
Still think this is only about pension reforms? It isn’t, this is about Macron ignoring the people and the influence of globalist policies on a nation who didn’t vote for them 🔥

China came to see how his war against France is going. The soldier citizens of the new CCP/France (of Communist Europe/America) alliance are tearing and burning Paris down very well, according to the CCP’s and WEF’s plan. “Simple, said Macron, I just tell them we are raising the retirement age by two years, and voila! War is on.” Xi: “Very impressive. Biden will tell US citizens that they must turn over all firearms and 2nd Amendment is suspended for health and safety, to ignite its war against itself.” (laughter)
Riots like in France will be come to America in 2024. Democrats will make sure of that!
The average American doesn’t have the spine to hit the streets. Call it being “civilized” or whatever word you choose, but none the less it will never happen.
I have to hand it to them….they know how to get their point across.
Don’t kid yourself! To save Social Security in America the age will need to be raised to 70 and there will be riots here!
The working age increase helps to strengthen France, so of course the lazy French protest. They are the ones who vote for leftist spending and massive immigration which necessitates this change. Their positions are contradictory.
Any result from this protest will include more leftism. The left leads the protesting. France is heavily unionized.
I’m at a loss to understand why you’re being downvoted.
Unrest here? That’s a joke. Take away sports, alcohol and weed and maybe we’ll see unrest but other than that, Americans do nothing. They just arrested our real leader and what, crickets. LOL
AND cell phones. Imagine the chaotic rage in this country, were cell phone service shut down by TPTB.
