At least the french pension sounds something that can be lived on reasonably well. In fact very well compared to SA where you have to build your pension yourself or face destitution.

Just the straw the broke the camels back
eg.
Macron: There is no money to pay the pensions for all you old folks even though you paid for it your entire lives
Also Macron: We are giving 100trillion dollars to zelensky

In short, the riots have very little to do with pensions even though its being labelled the reason. Its the whole macron **** show built up over time that has now erupted

I'm frankly disappointed they let the yellow vest protests from years ago fizzle out

that was already a point of the nation erupting against Macron ... ffs he even "won" an election after that
 
We actually planned a a couple of days away to go to Paris end of this month. Moulin Rouge is paid for already (non refundable:( )

Been holding out but these ****ing French ****s are ruining everything :(
