Over a million protest in France against rise in pension age

  • last year
The support for some of France's biggest strike in years is emboldening unions to call for yet more action next week. More than a million people are estimated to have taken part in last night's demonstrations at more than 250 protests across the country. Polls show widespread opposition to a rise in the state pension age, from 62 to 64, which is around the EU average. Report by Czubalam.
