Protesters angry at French Pres. Macron's pension reforms continue with scattered actions, as unrest across the country leads officials to postpone planned state visit by Britain's King Charles III.
French citizens angry at President Emmanuel Macron's pension reforms engaged in scattered protest actions Friday, as the ongoing unrest across the country persuaded officials to postpone a planned state visit by Britain's King Charles III.
Although no major protests were planned for Friday, train traffic was slowed, rows of trucks blocked access to Marseille’s port for several hours and debris still littered the streets of Paris following the previous day’s mass demonstrations. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said 441 police officers and gendarmes were injured as violence marred some marches. He added that 1,000 trash bins were set on fire in the French capital; overflowing garbage cans have become a symbol of the protests during a weeks-long strike by sanitation workers.
“The king and queen consort’s state visit to France has been postponed," the prime minister's Downing Street office said. “This decision was taken with the consent of all parties, after the president of France asked the British government to postpone the visit.”
