Demonstrators forced their way into the building that houses BlackRock’s office in Paris Thursday, taking their protest against the government’s pension reforms to the world’s biggest money manager. Videos shared on social media showed protesters entering the Centorial office block, located near the Opéra Garnier opera house, holding red flares and firing smoke bombs.
But workers targeted the company because of its work for private pension funds, according to protester Françoise Onic, a school teacher who spoke to Reuters. The government has said the pension legislation is necessary to prevent a looming funding deficit, but the reforms have angered workers at a time of rising living costs. French inflation fell last month from a record in February, thanks to a sharp slowdown in energy price rises, but food price inflation accelerated.
The cops should be ashamed of themselves
What if they cut police pensions.Who will bea it then.
Strike & demonstrations these are way government should understand its officials are in need of money? Why permanent secretary or any other who is responsible to solve these issues, why can't he/she pays them before things getting worse?
Why governments don't like to pay its officials till they strikes? How can a teacher, a doctor, nurse, professor or lecturer spends 5,7 or 9 months without payments while they're on payroll?
gtbank_help gtbank refund my money,since Thursday your support has done nothing
Because there is always money for wars and arms but not for pensions, schools and health.
Hmm black rock here in the USA is a train freight company that also owns the Def fluid for diesel vehicles.
It's funny for CNN to call these protesters violent, which they are saying in the US. The same people called burning down buildings and police stations 'peaceful' during the BLM riots in the USA.
The French are everything MAGA dreams of being.
This is necessary
労働者の定年を62歳から64歳に引き上げる仏政府の計画に対する全国的な抗議は現在11日目に入っています。政府は先月、物議を醸している法律を投票なしで議会に押し通すために特別な憲法上の権限を使いました。 この変更は2027年から年金給付を受ける為により長く働かなければならないことを意味します
Insurrection!
They stayed there 30mns, did not break anything and left. Now they just stoned and burnt the canopy of la Rotonde French brasserie, famous restaurant highly appreciated by Macron who is currently in China far away from all the French riots.
