It's Putin's fault. Macron overruled the legislature to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64... in order to raise the money to send weapons to Ukraine. Looks like the People have spoken and don't want to spend their glory years working to pay for more war. Good on them.
Nothing will happen there to change things. It never does. Maybe some very targeted and minor concessions but when most of the workforce is employed by the government, they end up having to go along.
Yeah. What a bunch of big babies. For the life of me I cannot understand why the “Parasites” are protesting raising the retirement age while their government funds Nazi trash in Ukraine. I totally cannot understand their displaced aggression 😂
I seem to remember decades ago frequent reports on the lavish vacation time and various other envious perks enjoyed by Europeans. Well, it’s been several decades since American workers could retire at age 62 with full S.S. benefits. Is it still age 67 now, or has the government been able to raise it to age 70 yet?
Oh but they’ve been revolting about that same issue for decades. The weeks-long strikes way back in 1995 were a backlash to the same kinds of measures. The government workers, especially in certain very protected and advantaged sectors, didn’t like that they were going to be more aligned with rules for the private sector workers.

Nice to see a country have the guts to revolt.

Good luck to the French people.
