France was rocked by impromptu demonstrations after the president's speech on pension reform.
Protesters gathered in many cities across the country during Macron's speech to once more express their rejection as they have done since January, according to media reports. Thousands also protested in cities such as Lyon, Rennes, Marseille, Nantes and Bordeaux, where tensions rose in some spots, the Le Figaro newspaper reported.
Macron expressed his will to turn the page on this reform and move on to other projects, noting that "the measures planned in the bill will progressively enter into force this fall."
