Wrong information because 500 thousands only in Paris and it’s been 2.5 millions protesters in France.

Macron is a bad president he raised the age of retirement. Machine kissed china's you know what…..Fight French brother's and sister's don't give in to this tyrant.
NBC lying as usual, saying people are living longer. Where? The US and the EU life expectancy is DECLINING. Plus, what a stupid argument stating the obvious "most people protesting are not within retirement age" only the NBC reporter apparently is of retirement age…but he will happily continue to twist the narrative, lie and work for NBC until he dies working .Macron is a cancer to democracy, the French people are an inspiration against the tyranny of the corporate elite .Viva la France!
Not surprised to see the social programs are also broken in the EU.
In Canada is 65
So whats the problem
New years you gave up what "vice" for the year?

Alot of 61 year olds out there, but I would be protesting them to make it 60 years instead
I hope this never passes in the states.
When l was 58 l because disabled, when l applied for disability they wouldn't give it to me even after reapplying 2 more times. I had to live with my Mom until l was 62, this was a burden on her. We got through it but if l had had to wait three more years it would of been even worse.
Lazy French
Let the French people destroy their country. It's funny to watch. People age 30 are willing to cripple the economy, making it even harder to make pension payments and keep social programs functioning. All of that because of a 2 year increase in pension age requirement to ensure payments can be made. They're creating a scenario in which there may not be sufficient pension payments if they keep this up.
Coming to America N the not so distant future!
right or wrong the people is the state
Don’t care!!! We have our own issues in the USA
Europeans are lazy.
Nothing to see here. Just NBC supporting an insurrection
"We don't want to be like the American people, like 80 years old, have to work."
As an American, I'm flattered he thinks we will live to 80 years old.
