France is on its feet - 800.000 protesters and 80.000 police officers are expected on the streets on Thursday

A day of protests in France showed deep dissatisfaction with current politics - and brought huge numbers of police officers to the streets. Is this the new beginning of the protracted demonstrations
"There is an unacceptable instrumentalization of the death of a teenager, which we all deplore and for which there should be a period of reflection and respect," Macron said after the meeting ended
Today, for several reasons, an unprecedented number of citizens are expected to come out because, according to the trade unions, there is still a lot of anger and fatigue in them, which is why they fear that this protest could be the last.
Police are firing tear gas in Paris and other cities at protesters who have turned out for May Day protests across France. Anger continues to flare over the passage of President Emmanuel Macron's unpopular pension reforms
There are also protests in Prague because of the announced pension reform. Demonstrators demand the resignation of the Government. The Prime Minister says he does not know what the protest is about. The French have been on strike since January over the pension reform
Despite the protests, the French Senate adopted President Emmanuel Macron's pension reform plan, the Assembly is waiting. Even if Macron's government fails to muster a majority, Article 49/3 could be invoked and the law passed without a vote
