Seven people share their opinions of Emmanuel Macron’s plan to shake up the country’s retirement system
share their views on pension reform and the protests.“The system is fed by the working population. If the retired population increases and the working population does not keep up, this will pose some problems. I’m not averse to changing the system but it should have been done with more consultation.
“I attended a protest earlier this month. It was really relaxed and merry. There was no hint of adversity. There were people from industry, office jobs, firefighters and teaching staff. It was quite diverse.”Noemie le Carrer attended several protests in Brest.“I have attended all the protests in my city since February, although I’m nine months pregnant. In Brest, the atmosphere was peaceful and family friendly.
“There was no democratic process in the way it was done – we feel very looked down on. The reason for this last protest is consequently more about Macron’s attitude, and his way of [ignoring] other suggestions, the unions and the people.
