Arise, children of the Fatherland
Our day of glory has arrived
Against us the bloody flag of tyranny
is raised; the bloody flag is raised.
Do you hear, in the countryside
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They’re coming right into your arms
To cut the throats of your sons, your comrades!

To arms, citizens!
Form your battalions
Let’s march, let’s march
That their impure blood
Should water our fields

They always go all out on their protests, as the only war the French can win unaided is a civil war.

Yes but you will now have to collect the full 45 years (or what ever it is) of working to be able to claim, so if you went to university you now aren’t retiring until 69/70 in France

well i would easily make the protests stop

protest goers: booooooo no rise of retirement age to 63

me: can always go more up to 68, so do you want to keep complaining

protest goers: don't make them go up at all

me: ok i count to 3, either 63 or 68, you decide

protest goers: but

me: no buts, make a choice or we make a choice for you

protest goers: we'll stop and accept that at 63

Macron is pushing to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. The bill would also require 43 years of work to be eligible to receive a full pension at 64, otherwise individuals would have to wait until they are 67.

Polling shows the majority of French people oppose Macron's plan, which raises the age when workers start collecting a government pension by two years. The retirement age moves from 62 to 64 for most workers, and from 57 to 59 for garbage collectors.

The new conditions would apply to those born in or after 1968. However, workers born in 1961, who were supposed to retire this year, would have to work three extra months.

it's not just the fact he wants to raise the retirement age, it's that he bypassed democracy to achieve it, by not allowing a vote in parliament. We all know what the french did last time they felt they were not being heard

But who works 43 solid years with out a break? Or even those who work in other countries so many french working in london not working towards their 43 years. So many french also commute everyday to Switzerland and Luxembourg to earn a better wage. People won’t be able to retire until after 70 under this new law.

No one relies on a state pension any more and that has been the case for decades ...if you are French and working in the UK you will be automatcally enrolled into a private pension if employed and will also be eligible for some state UK pension
