France Rocked by New Demonstrations After Macron’s Speech on Pension Reform

 France rocked by impromptu demonstrations after the President Emmanuel Macron's speech on pension reform Monday evening.
Emmanuel Macron spoke to the nation in a televised address about the contested pension reform bill after signing it into law Saturday morning. The move came after the Constitutional Council on Friday ruled in favor of its most contentious part on raising the legal age of retirement, Anadolu news agency reported.

Protesters gathered in many cities across the country during Macron's speech to once more express their rejection as they have done since January, according to media reports.
