Macron Wins Again! Despite Millions Of French Protesting In The Streets Of Paris, Top French Court Passes Controversial Retirement Age Increase Bill

April 15, 2023 admin News 0

Carnage is erupting on the streets of France tonight after French President Emmanuel Macron’s flagship pension reform passed a vital constitutional milestone despite months of disruptive strikes and protests.

People have been writing and messaging me ever since the mass protests on the streets of Paris over the much-hated retirement age hike by Emmanuel Macron first caused outrage. Certainly this time, they said, Macron will be taken down. He can’t last this out, it’s just not possible. 3 million people protesting on the city streets, Macron is finished!!! And yet, not only is he not finished, he got the French Constitutional Council, their top court, to agree with him and just like that, Macron wins again. Oh, he just has that ‘special something’, lol.

“And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.” Daniel 8:24 (KJB)

For 6 years now, we have told you that Emmanuel Macron looks like an excellent choice for the biblical man of sin, and during that entire time, he has not said or done anything to disappoint or prove otherwise. Remember when Macron was the first head of any nation to mandate the government shot for their citizens? Everyone said that that was the last straw. What happened? A whole bunch of other nations, including America, followed his lead.

Emmanuel Macron hated bid to raise retirement age is approved by top constitutional court

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The legislation, which pushes the age at one can draw a full pension to 64 from 62, is deeply unpopular in France and has triggered huge disruption. After the decision was announced by the Constitutional Council on Friday, largescale protests began around the country and quickly turned violent – with 112 people arrested in Paris alone.

Carnage is erupting on the streets of France tonight after French President Emmanuel Macron’s flagship pension reform passed a vital constitutional milestone despite months of disruptive strikes and protests.

The legislation, which pushes the age at one can draw a full pension to 64 from 62, is deeply unpopular in France and has triggered huge disruption.

After the decision was announced by the Constitutional Council on Friday, largescale protests began around the country and quickly turned violent – with 112 people arrested in Paris alone. Protesters are marching on the centre of Paris, with 3,000 people already assembled outside the town hall by 5pm BST, according to French media.

Demonstrations are taking place in major French cities including Paris, Rennes, Toulouse, Lyon and Nantes.

In Paris, protesters have let off flares and set fire to bikes outside the town hall, triggering a significant response by police. Dustbins and other items have also been set on fire around the city. Some have erected barricades in the streets of the capital, using sheets of metal, bins, wood and fire. A march is approaching the Place de la Bastille, where the infamous Bastille prison once stood. Police have arrested some protesters, including around a dozen young people who were pictured being detained by officers with batons and tear gas.

In Nantes, bottles and other projectiles have been thrown at police by some protesters, causing the police to respond with water cannons. Protesters are attempting to disrupt major roads and tramways by creating lines of burning dustbins.

Shortly after 8pm BST, a Nantes police station was set aflame by protesters, with the entire entranceway alight, before a water cannon was used to extinguish the flames. Protesters are marching on the centre of Paris, with 3,000 people already assembled outside the town hall by 5pm BST, according to French media.

Macron and his government hoped this outcome would discourage further trade union-led protests, which have at times turned violent – but this does not seem to be the case. Protests have broken out almost weekly since January as around two in three people are against the highly unpopular reform. Approval from the council will bring France closer into line with its EU neighbours.

Protesters gathered outside Paris City Hall, holding banners reading ‘climate of anger’ and ‘no end to the strikes until the reform is pulled’ when the Constitutional Council’s verdict was announced. A heavy police presence is on scene in Lyon, with dozens of officers in riot gear battling to maintain control. READ MORE
