Last night, the gates of my hometown's city hall were set on fire

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

UPDATE below

@raph the U.K. is in a similar situation, but ppl just roll over and accept being trodden on by the establishment! We haven’t got an effective opposition!
