French Pension Protests See Decrease in Attendance Amid Police Preparations and Trash Strike End.
TL;DR Summary
Smaller crowds turned out for protests against French President Emmanuel Macron's proposed pension reform, with labor unions reporting a turnout of around 452,000 people across the country, compared to 800,000 in the last major protest on January 16. The government has said the reform is necessary to simplify the country's complex pension system, but unions argue it will force people to work longer for lower pensions.
