The pension reform of French President Emmanuel Macron, which began its parliamentary process today, will face the second day of union protestwhich is announced to be at least as massive as that of the January 19.
According to the leaks to the media, the information services of the police anticipate between 1 and 1.2 million protesters in the around 240 gears organized throughout the country, figures similar to those of the first mobilization.
To try to avoid disturbances of public order, the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, announced today that they will deploy 4000 policemen and gendarmes in Paris and 11,000 in total throughout France, which means 1,000 more than in the protest on the 19th.
Darmanin, who has warned that “those who attack the agents or the demonstrators will be arrested”, has underlined the collaboration with the unions’ order services and has said that he hopes that the demonstrations will take place “under the same conditions”. that on the first day of protest, “no notable serious incidents”.
Beyond the demonstrations, the other great indicator of the monitoring of the day will be the strikeswhich are expected to be of a similar amplitude in the public transport.
The unions intend with this day of mobilizations to force the Government to withdraw its reform, which foresees delay the minimum retirement age from 62 to 64 years Y advance to 2027 the extension to 43 years (currently 42) of the listing period necessary to collect a full pension.
The majority of public opinion is against the reform, as all the polls repeatedly show, the left-wing parties, the extreme right and even some conservative deputies from Los Republicanos, the party that Macron hopes to rely on to be able to approve his bill.
