French pension protests disrupt Charles de Gaulle terminal and challenge Macron's presidency.

TL;DR Summary
French workers angry over the government's decision to increase the retirement age to 64 blocked access to a terminal at Charles de Gaulle airport, disrupted train services, and caused garbage to pile up on the streets. Unions are pressuring the government to withdraw the law that delays retirement by two years. President Emmanuel Macron says the legislation will come into force by year-end despite escalating tensions. The schism represents the most serious challenge to Macron since the "Yellow Vest" revolt four years ago.
