The Global Impact of Macron's Controversial Policies.

French President Emmanuel Macron is facing a deepening crisis as protests against his unpopular pension reforms continue to grow. The reforms push the legal retirement age from 62 to 64, and have sparked full-on disobedience mode among opponents. The protest movement is picking up new recruits, including some so young that it will be many decades before they’ll be directly impacted by the pushed-back retirement age. Their involvement is a worrisome development for Macron, because it suggests that protests are broadening from workplace and retirement concerns to a more generalized malaise with the president and his governance.
