French pension reform: Why millions are in uproar | AFP

For months, millions of protesters across France have rallied against a recently enacted pension reform, which has increased the country's retirement age from 62 to 64.

President Emmanuel Macron looks to have won his battle to push through the reform but the decision has made him widely unpopular.

Political opponents and trade unions have urged protesters to maintain their campaign against the law and have called for a new day of mass protest on 1 May.
