French Protesters Make Noise with Kitchenware to Oppose Macron's Pension Reforms

TL;DR Summary
French citizens have revived the "pots and pans protest" or "casserolade" to show their opposition to President Emmanuel Macron's unpopular pension reform law. The protest involves banging kitchen utensils together to create a loud noise. The practice dates back to the Middle Ages and has been used in political protests in France, Algeria, Chile, and other countries. Macron has dismissed the protest, but unions and opposition groups have vowed to continue demonstrating against the pension reform.
