Protesters burn fences during a demonstration on Place de la Concorde after the French government pushed a pensions reform through parliament without a vote, using the article 49,3 of the constitution, in Paris on March 16, 2023. The French president on March 16 rammed a controversial pension reform through parliament without a vote, deploying a rarely used constitutional power that risks inflaming protests. The move was an admission that his government lacked a majority in the National Assembly to pass the legislation to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. Photo by Raphael Lafargue/ABACAPRESS.COM

European countries are experiencing instability as a result of inflation, high prices and futile policies.
The streets of the French capital Paris yesterday saw widespread demonstrations against the passage of the retirement law, which President Macron worked to pass without parliamentary approval, and clashes between protesters and police led to 310 arrests, a wave of chaos punctuated by the burning of cars and the ignition of tires.
In Germany, the German news agency said more than 680 flights had been cancelled due to workers’ strikes at 4 German airports due to lower wages.
