Burn any cars today?
In France, around 290 people were detained as a result of Monday clashes between the police and the protesting against the pension reform.
Some 950 educational institutions had to break from classes when thousands took to the streets torching cars and bins and vandalizing telephone booths and bus stops. The worst affected were Paris, Lion, Nantes and Lille.
The police had to use tear gas and rubber bullet guns.
Tuesday will see another round of mass protests.
The unpopular reform pushes the retirement age to 62.
PUSHES the retirement age to 62?

What was it before?

Well in 1968 the baby boom generation decided the eat the whole cake and leave nothing to future generation, the system of pensions became a total heresy;
Now the stupid sudents are being manipulated by the left to defend the pensions of those who are assfucking them repeatedly, and who clearly want to do so until they pass away. Those stupid students don't even realise that they won't retire until more than 40 years in the future, and that the date won't be 62 by then, but probably 80 at the rate things are going.
I guess that's where I need to thank the CIA for instigating the may 68 revolts. Bastards.

For us (the Dutch) it was recently raised from 65 to 67.
The French should shut the fuck up IMHO, a European Union should mean this age is the same for everyone....

We can retire at 62, 65, or 67. The longer you wait. The more money you get.
I retired at 55.
