本文

French President Emmanuel Macron was met with a wave of protests in 2018 when he tried to raise the retirement age. Now he is trying again, despite warnings that Thursday would be a &quot;hellish&quot; day.
                
Teachers, healthcare workers and railway staff were among more than a million people who demonstrated in rallies nationwide. They are angry over Macron&#039;s plan to raise the age at which they can qualify for a full pension from 62 to 64.
                
Their walkouts stopped trains, closed schools, and even disrupted the flow of electricity.
                
One rail worker said, &quot;It is a social issue. Do you want to retire sick, broken, or even dead?&quot;
                
France spends more than most countries on pensions, amounting to nearly 14 percent of gross domestic product.
                
Macron said, &quot;If you want the pact between generations to be fair, this reform needs to be carried out.&quot;
                
Police used tear gas to disperse the crowds and detained some of the protestors. However, union leaders say the demonstrations are just the beginning.
