A couple of things immediately come to mind:
Long standing protests against the retirement age being raised to 72 (someone correct me on this one, please)
Police fired into a car that would not comply with a traffic stop and killed the occupant (who, I believe was a minority person). Rioting has ensued as a result.
Retirement age in France raised to 72??? Hell no bro, there would be no France if that were the case. Retirement age is being raised from 62 to 64. Here's a source : Source
Appreciate the clarification. I couldn't remember the actual age, only that it was being raised.
it's 67! I'm a french citizen living abroad
