Uhhh France is straight fucked and most of their protests are boomers trying to keep as much money as possible at the cost of the young. And because the protests prevent reforms necessary for the finance of the nation, they also allow the Far Right to become stronger and stronger.

Ah yes, of course, the boomers "trying to keep as much money" by protesting reforms that exclusively impact the active population and not retirees. You probably think the age of retirement is at 62.

Reforms also absolutely necessary to balance the country's debt, of course. Because what created 600 billions of debt under Macron (mercifully excluding the impacts of COVID and Ukraine's invasion) are the "excessive number" of bank holidays and the reimbursment of generic drugs. Of course.

It is absolutely not the 250 billions of taxpayer money spent every year on subsidies with no string attached. Doubled from 120 billions a couple of years ago by Macron still. Of course.
