French unions are holding a new day of nationwide strikes Tuesday to try to force President Emmanuel Macron to reverse his decision to push through unpopular pension reforms.
Since then, there have been 114 acts of vandalism on the local offices of members of parliament, 128 cases of damage to public buildings and 2,179 arson attacks, while almost 900 police officers have been injured, according to Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin. The head of the moderate CFDT union, Laurent Berger, called on the government to hit pause in what he said was a dangerous climate.
However, pushing ahead by enacting the law risks a prolonged conflict and further splintering parliament, where he has already lost his absolute majority and relies on opposition lawmakers to pass texts in a conventional manner. “With no clear solution in sight, Macron’s troubles underscore the difficulty of containing spending without triggering a backlash.”
