Nationwide Demonstrations take Place against French President Emmanuel Macron ’ s Plan to Push the Retirement Age from 62 to 64
France ’ s President Emmanuel Macron faces more nationwide protests on Monday ( 01 / 05 / 23 ) as he seeks to steer the country on from a divisive pension law that has sparked anger , pan-bashing and social unrest
Last month he signed a law to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 , despite months of strikes against the bill .
He and his government have since tried to turn the page on the episode of popular discontent , one of the biggest challenges to his second mandate .
But protesters have booed and banged pots and pans at him on his forays into provincial France to meet members of the public .
When Macron attended a football match on Saturday ( 30 / 04 / 23 ), he was met with activists waving red cards .
Unions and the opposition are hoping for a mass turnout at the May Day rallies to let Macron know they continue to oppose the pension overhaul . �
