Why Are the French Striking Again?

The French government has recently proposed raising the minimum retirement age, which sparked nationwide protests, strikes and a united front from France’s main trade bodies against the government’s proposals. As the government has triggered Article 49.3 of the French constitution to force the bill through without a vote, causing a furious reaction from the public and the opposition parties, could this potentially throw Macron’s future presidency into disarray?

Brothers and sisters, frnds,in France,pension may be a problem,but yr existential problem is islamic Jihadi invason of your country ,plz understand it better,read islamic texts,and find out , what really is going on in the name of immigration,I know it's jihad its sole aim is to capture not only France bt whole world's,capture in it self may be not that bad,but in a land ruled by Islamists,there are two possible options for non muslims,1. Give huge sum of yr income to ruler as ZAZIYA TAX,with humiliation (bending on yr knees while giving),or get killed,or convert
During Islamic rule of India,more than 150 million Hindus were killed by jihafi muslims,plz verify this data from reputed historical sources.plz save great nation France,France has been the light of humanity,plz don't let it extinguished by illiterate moron jihadi terrorist invaders masquerading as poor helpless refugees,find out what these refugees did to Lebnon,a Christian country in the 70s decade,y may listen BRAGIETA GABRIEL at present US citizen,in her u -tube channel

I'm no fan of Macron, but why do French protests invariably regress into the destruction of and setting fire to innocent peoples cars and property, plus looting of shops. This is not protest but mindless and moronic rioting that serves no purpose.

Nanterre (the university campus there) was the start of the student riots of 1968. The students tried to occupy the middle of Paris and the car works at Boulogne-Billancourt to the southwest of Paris and to link up with the workers there. However, with the exception of getting rid of Charles de Gaulle as President, they failed in most of their aims as they had been studying the theories of Guy Debord and the Situationists and various Marxist theoreticians- and the workers didn't know wtf they were going on about.
This may be one reason the Left in France never went full-on "woke", focusing instead on workers' rights and preventing the Blairite Macron from pushing the whole system to the libertarian Right in the name of enlightened centrism.

I got to add some infos :
-E. Macron did say he would NEVER increase age of retierement.
-Policemen and fireworkers get younger younger, BUT hard workers do NOT, people working like building, nurses, ambulancemen, and so on.
When you calculate, yeah, we got retirement younger than in other countries, but we need more semeesters to get a full pension@SunDevi1s66

Another French insurrection because after National Socialist (NAZI) leader in the 1980 dropped retirement are to 60, and the current president compromised to 64…from 65 which is what he was elected on.
