France in Turmoil: Protests Erupt Over Macron's Pension Reform Law

TL;DR Summary
Protesters stormed the offices of Euronext in Paris' La Defense business district, demanding that big companies pay up to finance pensions as part of wider protests against a rise in the retirement age. The group of a few hundred protesters occupied Euronext's lobby, chanting words popular with pension protesters and shouting "Macron resign!" The French President faced protests during his second public outing since signing the bill into law, but shrugged off the protests, saying "There are people who are happy, and people who are not happy."
