Political Motive Suspected in Assault on Brigitte Macron's Relative at Family's Chocolate Shop.

French first lady Brigitte Macron condemned the physical attack on her great-nephew, Jean-Baptiste Trogneux, who was reportedly attacked by opponents of her husband's commitment to raising the country's retirement age to 64. Eight people were arrested in connection with the assault. French President Emmanuel Macron called the violence "unacceptable" and vowed to continue with unpopular pension reforms that would raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, which has been the focus of months of antigovernment protests.
