STORYLINE:
Police fired tear gas Thursday at protesters in Paris where large crowds took to the streets in the first mass demonstrations since President Emmanuel Macron inflamed public anger by forcing a higher retirement age bill through parliament without a vote.

Strikes upended travel in France as protesters blockaded train stations, Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, refineries, and ports.

More than 250 protests were organized across the country and union leaders praised the “significant” mobilization.

French President Emmanuel Macron chose last week to shun parliament and impose his unpopular pension reforms via a special constitutional power, the so-called “Article 49.3.”

The procedure has been regularly used in the past by different governments.

But this time it’s drawing a lot of attention and prompting much criticism because of the massive public opposition to the increase in retirement ages.
