France's Nationwide Protests Continue Against Pension Reform

TL;DR Summary
France is set to witness its 14th day of nationwide protests against President Emmanuel Macron's pension overhaul, with left-wing forces and labour unions staging strikes to thwart the changes. The reform, which seeks to raise the pension age to 64 from 62, was signed into law in April, but opponents are still hoping to repeal it through a motion in parliament. The government argues that the changes are necessary for France's financial health, but the opposition insists that the fight against the reform "will never finish."
