Teens join French pension protests amidst police violence and potential violence.

French high school students are joining the ongoing protests against President Emmanuel Macron's unpopular pension reforms, with some as young as 17 taking part in their first demonstrations. The protests have evolved from workplace and retirement concerns to a more generalized malaise with the president and his governance, with violence picking up and police and environmental activists fighting pitched battles over the weekend. Macron's decision to not let legislators vote on his retirement reform, because he wasn’t sure of winning a majority for it, has angered protesters and been described as an "attack on democracy."
