If you're wondering what is going on in #France, this is about a lot more than pension reform

The pension reform is unjust in & of itself (women & poor people will be the ones most impacted). But the rage French people are expressing right now is about Macron's hatred for democracy. Since his reelection just one year ago, he has bypassed parliament 11 times, more than all govs in the previous 20 years put together

@raph My full retirement age in the US is 67 so I completely agree with France's peaceful protestors. And no doubt it's the far-right that does most of the damage because that's their playbook
