Macron's pension reform faces fierce opposition in France.

TL;DR Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron faces a critical test on Monday as the National Assembly examines no-confidence motions filed after his government bypassed parliament to push through a deeply unpopular pension reform, sparking days of unrest. The move triggered three nights of unrest and demonstrations in Paris and throughout the country, reminiscent of the Yellow Vest protests that erupted in late 2018 over high fuel prices. However, while Monday's votes may put on display anger at Macron's government, they are unlikely to bring it down.
