France's Pension Reforms Spark Nationwide Protests and Controversy

French President Emmanuel Macron has signed his controversial pension reform bill into law, which includes raising the retirement age to 64, despite months of mass protests. The Constitutional Council approved the plan, leading to further protests and riots in several cities. Unions have called for a nationwide strike on May 1, and activists have threatened scattered new protests on Saturday. Macron's office said he would enact the law in the coming days, and he has said he wants it implemented by the end of the year.
