Protesters marched across France on Wednesday in a last-ditch effort to convince lawmakers not to back President Emmanuel Macron's pensions reform bill that would raise retirement age by two years to 64, APA reports citing Reuters.
A broad alliance of unions has called on workers to join the eighth day of nationwide demonstrations since mid-January against the unpopular policy. The protests have drawn millions of people and walkouts have disrupted transport and energy sectors and left garbage piling up in the streets of Paris.
Protesters marched on Wednesday with home-made placards reading "No to 64 years," or union banners marked with slogans such as "Public and private sector together for our pensions."
