Parisian Garbage Piles Spark Protest Movement.
TL;DR Summary
Weeks of strikes against President Emmanuel Macron's pension reforms have resulted in Paris' streets being lined with piles of garbage. Macron's government invoked its constitutional power to move forward with the unpopular reforms without risking a vote in the National Assembly. Trade unions have called for more strikes this week. Paris City Hall estimated on Monday that 9,300 tonnes of trash are filling the city's streets.
