  1. Were the protestors mostly peaceful?

  2. FREE FREE PALESTINE! ALLAHU AKBAR

  3. This is no longer about pension, this is now just plain anti-government. Sad they have nothing better to do than act like a bunch of animals 😔

  4. Good, they’ve been stealing your money for years.

  5. As usual in western countries, their schemes to save money, wind up costing more money.

  6. the rest of the world has a lot to learn from the french citizens that refuse to let their government take their futures away.

  7. Time for Macron to meet the Guillotine. REVOLUTION Power of the People not the Government.

  8. I also believe pineapple should not go on cheese

  9. Well, Parisians have always been revolutionary.

    When they decide their monarchy is symbolic things will change.
