France: Democracy Hanging in the Balance

Millions of people began demonstrating and joining strike action to show their opposition to Macron’s pension reform plan.

President Macron has said he has no choice but to implement the pension reform out of economic considerations but he has not said why he doesn’t allow people to protest peacefully.
