PARIS CLASHES
Currently Paris, the capital of France, has been facing a very difficult time, with many strikes involving the opposition to the current administration of the country. The citizens feel indignated, mobbed and even betrayed.
The main criticism to the president is aimed towards its plan to oversee the introduction of a universal pension system, which would replace the 42 different schemes in the country. Citizens will be rewarded per day, being really exact with the time they work.
The benefit of the new law would be seen in ther future, after many years of working. This doesn't sound so good for the workers, since they believe this definitely will make them retire later or even recieve less that they do nowadays.
The capital is shut down, since the citizens are going out to the streets to protest. At many schools, classes have been cancelled, not only because the protest may surround them, but also because many teachers and students are going to protest. Multiple shops along the capital have clossed their doors over concerns about damage to their businesses.
But what really is concerning the administration is the fact that the strikes have moved to many more parts of the country.
