Paris struggles with massive garbage pile-up on its streets.

Trash is piling up on the streets of Paris due to ongoing protests over French President Emmanuel Macron's proposed pension reform. The reform aims to merge France's 42 separate pension systems into a single, points-based system. Unions argue that the reform will force people to work longer for a lower pension, while the government says it is necessary to make the system fairer and more sustainable. The strikes have disrupted transportation and public services across the country.
