Yes it's an accumulation of reforms aimed at destroying worker's rights in France. Plus the destruction of public services, which were not working very well to start with. Many French people are fed up, but alas many still support Macron. He really has managed to convince these dumb fuckers that the only alternative is the Rassemblement National...

Tbf if they weren't upset about the Reform itself that probably wouldn't bother them. If the Reform was to lower the retirement age to 60 and he passed it without a vote I don't they'd be protesting.

This is of course a very big factor. My comment was cutting very short for the sake of catchiness. But pushing such a reform around the Parlament makes for a highly explosive mixture.
