Retirement age increase/ Protests continue, but Macron does not back down

In the ninth day of protests in France and strikes, Macron appears firm in his decision.

"Reform is not a luxury and fun, but a necessity for the state," Macron said.

France is in chaos due to protests. Workers unhappy with the plan to raise the retirement age have taken to the streets and erupted in demonstrations.

The law will enter into force by the end of this year.

Macron does not turn back and the protesters have declared that they will not give up.
