France Protests: When France's lower house of parliament was scheduled to vote on the change, Emmanuel Macron invoked a constitutional provision, sparking protests.

Protests broke out across Paris following France President Emmanuel Macron's decision to raise the retirement age by two years by sidestepping a vote in the country's national assembly. The French President brought the reform following which retirement age was raised from 62 to 64, justifying it a pertinent to saving France's pension system from going bankrupt.
