Parisian police used tear gas to counter the protests. It was noted that hundreds of citizens gathered for a rally near the town hall in the city center after the pension reform was approved by France’s Constitutional Council.
It is reported by RIA Novosti. Then the protesters dispersed to the streets, began to knock over trash cans and smash store windows. Police were forced to block streets and chase away protesters, some of whom were surrounded.
Recall that on the evening of April 14, the French Constitutional Council approved an increase in the retirement age from 62 to 64 in the country. Also, the request of the left parties to organize a referendum on this reform was rejected. French President Emmanuel Macron intends to sign a pension reform law within two days.
