Paris Protests Leave Streets Filled with Trash

TL;DR Summary
Garbage workers in Paris and other French cities continue to strike against President Emmanuel Macron's decision to raise the country's retirement age, resulting in heaps of trash piling up on the streets. Despite the smell and garbage-filled streets, many Parisians are expressing support for the sanitation workers on strike. Macron argues that raising France's retirement age will make the country's pension system financially sustainable in the future. Unions in France have called for new protests nationwide later this week.
