On Friday, the legislation passed a major constitutional milestone, as the Constitutional Council validated most of the draft law.President Macron has argued that the reforms are essential to prevent the collapse of the pension system, while Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne said "tonight there is no winner, no loser".A police station in Rennes on fire during amid the various demonstrations taking place around the country.

Wish I could go to France and 📷📹 this,
All those fighting age men rioting over the retirement age? Really? Did anyone give a stuff about a pension when they were 18-25? Young fighting age men testing the French defences .
Why aren't you supporting the rioters and placing sanctions on Macron?
Does Macron even have a clue about what is going on in his country? The Public clearly does not want the retirement age raised. The flames you see in these photos are Macron's political career, going up in smoke.
Macron doesn't have an ounce of sense, and the highest court in France is lacking as well. Does Macron actually care this little about public opinion that he is willing to sacrifice his future career as a politician?
Up the French! They know how to demonstrate. Unlike us weak Brits
Why aren't we more like the French?
It can only go on for a time the protests. Macron will not shift to prove wht he decides goes even if the citizens don’t want it.
If the FRENCH SS PLAN / system collapses, what you’re seeing now — simply child’s play.
Frexit
👏👏👏
Us brits should be MORE LIKE THE FRENCH
But it's not just about pensions! It's about Macron's slow removal off civil liberties and right.
I'm never surprised at the violent protests in France, just look at the history, just as I'm never surprised at the racism in the US, just look at the history!
Macron must be hiding under the table 😂
Love the French
On days like these we rejoice in knowing that we did the right thing and left these continental savages to themselves. brexit winning
What is the point? Ordinary people won’t win
