DIRECT. Pension reform: decisive day with a vote in the Senate and the Assembly

This is one of the “smallest” mobilizations against pension reform. But all the same 1.7 million people marched on Wednesday in the streets of France, for the eighth day of interprofessional mobilization, according to the CGT. The Ministry of the Interior has counted 480,000 on its side. In Paris, 37,000 people beat the pavement, according to a count by the Paris police headquarters, against 48,000 demonstrators last Saturday. The CGT claimed 450,000 demonstrators in the street, more than the last day of mobilization on Saturday (300,000), but less than the record day of March 7 (700,000).
