It seems like there are a lot of protests and riots in France, but it’s hard to know exactly what is going on since our media plays it down. People are filling the streets. Some demonstrations concern President Macron’s raising the retirement age by two years from 62 to 64.
However, the protests that are of the most interest to Americans are the anti-NATO and anti-war protests. It would seem that this is important for our media to report, but they don’t say much. It would seem that growing discontent in the world is something Americans need to know more about.
French President Emmanuel Macron said in June NATO still needs to make clear its strategic priorities, nearly a year after he said the trans-Atlantic alliance was “brain dead.” Mr. Macron still backs NATO.
Thousands of anti-war protesters took to the streets of Paris to protest against the supply of arms to Ukraine and demand the withdrawal of France from the US-led NATO bloc. pic.twitter.com/ESKAKqVvfQ

BACK TO THE PENSIONS
The French people are furious about the changes in the pension. The media is reporting that Macron forced the plan through Parliament without a vote by invoking Article 49.3. He has unleashed fury among the populace.
As for how the NATO protests are doing, we just don’t know. But it does seem that the pension reform and Article 49.3 have taken center stage.
Macron invokes Article 49.3 of the French Constitution, which allows the government to unilaterally pass any law without a vote.
Protests have already begun in parliament against Macron’s decision. The deputies drowned out the speech of the Prime Minister with the anthem. pic.twitter.com/wIvdstPH5o— Magdi Shalash (@magdishalash) March 16, 2023

Dig a little deeper and you will find the reason for reducing pensions is African and muslim immigration costs. They are net losses to national income and taxes.
…..here in Australia the pension age has just gone from 65 to 67! Happened just as I hit 65 🙁 ….in France the protests are for a number of reasons (all bad). It was already a powder keg and their government just lit the fuse when they raised the retirement age. The French equate that with all the WEF policies being implemented at their cost. I extend my best wishes for the people of France. J’adresse mes meilleurs vœux au peuple de France.
They vote for leftist governments and then they complain. It was obvious that Macron is a globalist leftist who is reducing the well being of the French.
French people are especially interested in their free time. At my corporation, the French would hesitate on assignments, which led to work being moved to the USA and other countries from France. Even the engineers are unionized, they will not accept any work without approval. There was no teamwork between the French and engineers in other countries.
The west is getting good at stopping protests. They make mass arrests and persecute the prisoners. They ban protests. They take people’s assets. They censor speech. To Macron and his leftists, this is just a temporary problem as they continue to drain the French. They know the French will elect them each time.
Are you sure they “voted” for these communists? They cheat in France too, I’m sure.
….sadly these days it is impossible to know
Who the hell does Macron think he is, Joe Biden?
….WEF POS
