Paris Protests Pile Up Garbage and Controversy.

A strike by Paris garbage collectors, now in its 16th day, has led to heaps of garbage piling up in the city, causing a blight on the French capital. The strike is part of nationwide protests against President Emmanuel Macron's decision to raise the retirement age by two years. While some Parisians support the garbage collectors, others are frustrated with the growing piles of trash, which have led to a decline in business for some restaurants. The strike has also led to sporadic protests and clashes with police.
