I find it unbelievable that train drivers can retire at 52 and they are now protesting for this "right". And there are also other people who are supporting them

I hope Macron stands by his policies and doesn't back off. I have no clue what the French people expect from their future. Don't they see that all macro variables have changed? declining population, ageing, higher life expectancy, major economic shift to Asia etc.
- skitout 7y agoMost protestors don't want train driver to retire at 52... most protestors just don't want a system where everybody has to work longer, for less (despite a high rate of unemployment)...
- user5994461 7y agoBear in mind that there are millions of people directly affected by the special pensions. It's really deep rooted in the French nation. They are heavily manifesting against any change to pensions because they are first targeted and have the most to lose, but there are many more people manifesting that simply don't want to have to work longer. Nobody approaching 60 want to be told they have to work a few years more and/or receive a lower allowance.
