Nationwide protests have continued to escalate across France as demonstrations are in their second week. The protests are a result of French President Macron bypassing the necessary legislative process by single-handedly extending the retirement age without a parliamentary vote.


Over 100 police officers have reportedly been injured and almost another 100 protestors have been arrested. It is being reported, although unconfirmed, that many of the riot police units are actually joining the demonstrators in solidarity against Macron.


Protestors are calling President Macron a puppet for the World Economic Forum.
