French pension reform protests see dwindling participation.

The CGT union reported that only 300,000 people participated in nationwide protests against the French government's pension reform on Tuesday, the lowest turnout since January. However, French unions remain determined in their fight against raising France's retirement age. The government is aiming for the pension reform law to come into force on September 1 and is counting on the protests to subside. Ryanair cancelled over 400 flights due to the French strike, and Disneyland Paris staff members joined the nationwide strike.
