French Strikes Disrupt King Charles III's State Visit Plans
TL;DR Summary
Workers striking in France against President Emmanuel Macron's pension reforms have threatened to boycott the red-carpet welcome for King Charles during his three-day visit to France starting Sunday. Unions representing the workers have said they will not provide "neither the furniture nor the red carpets." The royal visit could still face disruptions due to the protests against the unpopular pension reform, which includes raising the retirement age from 62 to 64.
