Sputnik comes live from Paris as thousands of demonstrators take to the streets to protest against President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to force through his pension reform. The reform provides for an increase in the retirement age from 62 to 64. There have been several nationwide strikes and hundreds of demonstrations in France within the past two months, with more than a million people taking part in most of them. During the protests, clashes have often broken out between the police and the protesters.Follow Sputnik's Live Feed to Find Out More!
