Protesters marching against France's planned pension reform clashed with police in Paris on Saturday
Demonstrators run away from teargas fired by police during a protest against pension reform plans in Paris, Saturday, Dec. 28, 2019.
On Saturday “yellow vests” - an anti-government movement that sprung up a year ago as a backlash against the high cost of living - joined a rally of several thousand people against the pensions shake-up. Clashes broke out at other points of the demonstration too, although the protest was dying down by the late afternoon.
France’s transport network remained disrupted across the country and in Paris on the last weekend of the year, and rail and metro workers have so far insisted they will keep pressure on Macron to abandon his overhaul.
