Across Paris, people are gathering to protest French President Macron’s bill that raises the retirement age from 62 to 64, which Macron argues is essential to prevent the pension system from running out of money. NBC News’ Molly Hunter has the latest on recent strikes.

#Paris #Protest #Retirement
62 to 64, not a big change, but, they have the right to wonder why they have to work longer to save the retirement fund while France is sending money to Ukraine? The US.and Nato(including the French) provoked this war and thinks blaming Russia for what Usa/NATO caused is going to fool anybody? Out with Macron, Biden and all the NATO leaders…by vote or by carrying them out!
These are the same people throwing paint on priceless artworks. They are entitled nothing.
Without The People there would be no government.
Why are all governments trying trying to reign over their people rather than work with their people…?
The root cause of all poverty, debt, inflation, war and recurring cataclysmic economic hardship is global private central banking imposing its debt enslavement fiat currency on the world to self-enrich the .001% at the expense of mankind. Permanently eradicate the global central banking syndicate then peace and prosperity will flourish around the world for every nationality and race.
One thing the French are the absolute best at….rioting. They do need to step up their game though as American democrats are catching up.
Coming soon to America
Ask not what your country can do for you.
A country of snowflakes who only work 35 hours a week and now can’t retire until they are 64 boo hooo. I’m not a fan of Macron at all, but he is smart enough to know that not a single elected official would have the balls to make a tough decision about ensuring the viability of the country’s retirement program, so he put it all on his shoulders. If the country actually worked longer during the week and had high productivity, they probably wouldn’t have had to make this decision – the same thing is going to happen here in US soon too. We are going to go from 67 to 70. And before anyone says it – yes in the US we can retire at 62 with minimum benefits, the full retirement age is 67, and maximum benefit age is 70. I’m saying 70 is now going to be the full retirement age in the US – within the next five years.
Don’t let the 1% globalist elites have their way
Even the liberal French president knows socialism doesn’t work.
Slave them 2 more years 🤣
Finally realizing they’ve been working their whole lives for the international bankers benefit…. Bout time people wake up.
kick him out.. macronTHECLOWN 🤡 CLOWN
Typical lazy Euros. They get a month holiday every year anyway.
if there’s one thing the french know it’s how to throw a good ol riot. power to the people
Why not? They’ve been leeching off of Africa for the longest
This is not about retirement age. It is about Macron paying his evil ways to rule the nation. The same thing is going to happen to this amazing country, USA, if Biden does not turn from his wicked ways: approving abortion nationwide and many other evil laws. Pray, just pray! 🙏🏻
That’s exactly what they want.
For you to stay focused on abortion that’s why they always bring it up. To keep your attention on that instead of the other stuff that matters. Think.
Real Americans
Wonder when our country will protest like this as the politicians rig and steal elections then bankrupt our country after they destroy our currency. This protest is over raising the age of retirement from 62 to 64 lily women whole years. Our age is 65 and talks of goin to 70 already at play.
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!
Vive la France! 🇫🇷
GOOD !
Politicians spent your pensions.
Everyone around the world needs to stand up against leftist/globalist governments. And they call these violent, but BLM was peaceful. What a bias propaganda outlet.
Jeez, 65 is retirement age in the U.S.
Mettez feu a tout Paris ! Gerontofile Macron il faut partir !
Why is she wearing a helmet?
May the protests leas to revival. A move a God is needed in Paris and around the world
Ok I see them Franks don’t give an inch. It does sound frugal pass the bill, But keep you voice. I also don’t know your books so good luck. You’re an inspiration 250 years later.
Socialism works until the govt runs out of your money.
That is a lot of protesting over raising the limit by 2 years, so France can keep their entitlements.
They are literally taking every single thing away from us.
We’re not going to live to 70 something, that’s the retirement age in USA now. It was raised to 70. I suppose it was raised that high because you don’t live much longer after that if you make it there.
what is the retirement age going from, and to?
The reporter wearing the helmet far away from the crowd like they are in some kind of danger is hilarious
Americans and their overreactions!
Politicians and politics are so outdated. Politics are so outdated.
KEEP FIGHTING OUR GOVERNMENTS ARE OUR ENEMYS
Kudos to French , I wished we did the same in USA but people are too busy watching TV and eating fast foods
Us wants a new age to retire as well…70. I am 70 an d I still work smh
Yes but at the same time if it is like America, where will the retirement funds come from? If their top 2% pay little to no income tax as our system and plenty of businesses pay cash salaries to skirt the system, something has to give. Money does not float in from no where.
Please keep them safe
The problem is the average life span is longer than 62 years. The system isn’t designed for 80 year old grandparents in every family.
Over spending on other countries, war, welfare, bailing out the rich and their gambles, corruption… all things that should be taken care of first before making people work till death!
Viva la Revolution!, a French fragrance since 1789.
You wouldn’t be running out of money if you didn’t get involved in wars.
YOU GO PARIS FRANCE
VIA LA FRANCE👋👋👋👋
MRS. JRD NICHOLSON
THE BETTER BABY BUSINESS BUREAU💖🌍🙏
They did it without a vote. No wonder people are angry. When you force something on a population, there will be protest.
Strength in numbers come together as one mind and you will win 🥇. I support the people of Paris from the US the retirement age is already high enough most people don’t even make it retirement, these governments are greedy evil narcissistic demons.
The whole show for an extra $100……per month
2023 pension deficit in France 1,5 billion EUR……2024 pension deficit in France 10,5 billion eur……17% of France GDP is pensioneer
My age is retirement age is 68
Rioters!
We’ll make this look like a cook out .
As an American I support your protest for better wages.
👍👍
I guess the little Napoleon spread the US” Democracy”
Oh come on, adopt the US model, work til you’re dead so the government never has to start paying you back – it’s great!
Let them eat cake for a few extra years.
Chkpö
If you are 62 go to work, collect your pay. DO NOTHING, retire at 64.
They’re at the wrong place. They should be at the politicians’ homes.
Just like here in America they want you to die BEFORE you can collect your retirement benefits. USA is trying to raise ours to 70yrs old.
I’m sure that Macron like all the crony globalist politicians worldwide is doing this in the best interests of the French people…..right???
You’ll never meet a lazier group of people then the French.
Upper middle class Americans in Connecticut are watching this nervously
Socialism at it’s finest! 😂
This is the hardest the French have worked in ages. And it’s over a 2 year raise in the retirement age that is still lower than most of the world
Now we need to protest For a new pres.
Nothing short of government theft. This is the path socialism always leads to.
I’m french I can confirm that even if your News channels talk about it they always understate a LOT with scenes of true unity and the true extent of it all for a big majority, they know you can reproduce such things so they wont show examples 😂makes ….me …wanna..🤮 it’s really outrageous
THIS much anger over changing retirement age by 2yrs. Republicans here want to chg it from 65-70yo!
Fake news 😂
Real French will never distroy there beautiful land , those are others not French.
The people have spoken MACRON and his CRONIES will pay paris will burn. Let them eat cake he said.
You may not be able get the full amount of the pension because the economic crisis can happen anytime now, they need the fund to support the economy and banking sys, a lot of country now also extend this policy due to lack of fund. Don’t sell your life and get nothing at the end.~.
As a Spaniard I honestly blame USA 🇺🇸 they own the Government of France and its always about money. Never la jente .. Viva la Libertad!!
We stand con tigo Francia .. say no to the Elitist and to EU AND America
MODI AND TALIBAN ARE BRO BRO
Good for them !
What’s the big deal?
64 is not bad
American retirement 67
Is that really democracy?
the bearded man with long hair interviewed in the video is very dangerous, he prowls the streets of paris to steal all the sunglasses in the city, to then pretend that he is Ray Charles
They had it too easy for too long. You Guy’s are lucky it is not raised to 65 + like it already is in other countries. Time to raise the pension age. Stop complaining and be glad you can work for a living till then.
democracy without listen to citizen
Remember what kind of democracy these liberals are talking about when they call you extremist for defending your rights!
Don’t be so gullible guys. Remember that the propaganda machine is still hard at work even on the eve of revolution. To amount these riots to nothing more than fervor over a retirement change is an outright silly assumption. These people have felt the grip of a tyrant over the last few years become unbearable and the consequence is now evident and restless. This narrative about retirement is nothing more than another lie, it’s an attempt at a release valve. But the people of France won’t soon forget how you have lied to them their whole lives and all the misery they have endured because of their government. Remember that after world war 2, Propagandist were hung for aiding the state in perpetuating lies. So as a spectator in these times, please be sure to not perpetuate the lie, Things are hardly ever so black and white.
A lot of people not near retirement age out there starting fires.. A lot of people unaware of how things work causing damage, making things worse… by the time they’re near retirement, the limit will be 70, and people are living too 100 now…..
Bring down Thiers and his fake republic.
Looks like they’re trying to get us focused on protesting now right in time for this trump thing. Wake up sheeple!
Americans like to dunk on the French, but this is really how you do it
Whats that.. …????
The fascists must be thrilled!
Well what we all expected from another global Zion-Masonic-Communist clown and puppet. He is just receiving and doing all the orders he received from his secret Global Zionist Masonic Communists Oligarchy Mafiosi Elite and Handlers, like the one Soros is part.
meanwhile in America a chunk of working class people worried about Wokeism 🙄🙄
Wait if you put it that way a chunk of Democrats were worried about the abortion issue
the French fight for all of us
Retirement will increase 1 year evry year to be 67. So I was told by taxi driver they protest against retiring age of 67. It is not only about one off increase. As he told us.
The money from the funds was spent…ended up in Ukraine….now there are only 2 options…either this law or printing money that will increase inflation by 50%…
Viva le people of France 😈
And they voted for Macron…
Force macron Out!
The gov works for USA and Ukraine.
