Paris BlackRock Building Witness Protesters Over Pension Reform

After narrowly surviving no-confidence votes, Macron government passes pension bill in France

The French government survived two no-confidence votes Monday in the lower chamber of parliament, prompted by a push by President Emmanuel Macron last week to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without giving lawmakers a vote. With the failure of both votes Monday, the pension bill is considered adopted. The first motion, by the centrists, garnered 278 votes, falling nine votes short of the 287 needed to pass. The far-right initiative won just 94 votes. Strikes will continue, which will be a significant challenge to Macron's authority, with unions and opposition parties saying they would step up protests to try and force a U-turn.

Clashes Erupt During France's Pension Protests as Macron Imposes Unilateral Increase in Retirement Age

France Pension Protests: Clashes After Macron Orders Rise In Pension Age Without Vote | English News Fires burned on the streets of Paris on Thursday (March 16) night as police fired tear gas to disperse protesters following the introduction of an unpopular pensions bill in the French National Assembly. At least one car was burning, along with piles of rubbish and debris, in the streets near the Place de la Concorde. Some protesters were seen throwing cobble stones and shooting flares at police where local media reported at least 217 people were arrested, according to authorities. The demonstration was across the river Seine from parliament, where Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne earlier on Thursday announced her government would push through the reform using a special constitution clause. The move will ensure the bill raising the retirement age by two years to 64 is adopted after weeks of protests and fractious debate. #paris #pension #protests #englishnewslive
