Retirement-age protests, FR

Protests against Macron's arbitrary increase of the retirement age in France are continuing after months, and thugs have taken up arresting people for the traditional protest of banging on pots.

I'm sure it is true that the finances of retirement pensions in France have a problem that requires more funds. But why turn first to the poor to get them? Macron did that because he is a "centrist", which means "bowing to the rich and pretending that's what most people want."

The propaganda terms "centrist" and "moderate" can be compared with "bolshevik", which was used by a minority to pretend to be the majority.
