Pension reform riot: A specter of yellow vests haunting Macron
In France, the Emmanuel Macron administration has been facing a new challenge in recent weeks after the "yellow vest" protests that swept the country in 2018. The controversial pension reform, which has been on the agenda for a long time, is causing protests across the country.

Moreover, daily life in the country has been paralyzed by union-led strikes and slowdowns.
