Hundreds of thousands protested across France to keep up pressure on the government over its pension reform plans.
Protesters held a sometimes restive fourth round of nationwide demonstrations across France against President Emmanuel Macron’s plans to reform the country’s pension system.
More than 960,000 people marched in Paris, Nice, Marseille, Toulouse, Nantes and other cities on Saturday, according to the interior ministry.
In Paris, authorities counted some 93,000 participants, the most to demonstrate in the capital against the pension changes since the protests started last month. The demonstrations drew young people and others opposed to the pension proposals who were not able to attend the previous three days of action, all held on weekdays.
