Macron's pension changes spark nationwide protests in France.

France experienced a national day of action on Thursday as citizens protested against changes to the pension system proposed by President Emmanuel Macron. The reforms include raising the retirement age and increasing the number of years a worker must pay into the system to receive a full pension. Opposition lawmakers and a majority of the public oppose the reforms, with unions arguing they will most impact manual workers, the lower-paid, and women. The protests have been marked by clashes with police, burning debris, and disruptions to travel and services.
