From CBC:
French unions stepped up their fight against President Emmanuel Macron's pension reform plans on Tuesday as most trains came to a halt, fuel deliveries were disrupted and schools shut in a sixth day of nationwide strikes.
To increase pressure on lawmakers not to raise the pension age by two years to 64, unions said there would be rolling strikes this time, which could go on for days, including at oil refineries and railways.

Who’s prepping the guillotine?
What did it change?
Did the government retract the changes?
Oh, to be in France! Full retirement at 64. That is something my brother needs right now.
Please note that this actually did get voted through the government and is moving ahead at full steam and will become the way things are. The protest did absolutely nothing to stop it.
Thats how it goes every time.
