French protesters barricade Constitutional Council with rubbish bins

Protesters barricaded the entrance to France’s Constitutional Council with rubbish bins on Thursday, as people took to the streets around the country over Emmanuel Macron’s pension reforms.

Police expect around 400,000 to 600,000 people to take part nationwide. That would be fewer than half the nearly 1.3 million reached in March at the height of the protests against the reforms, which include raising the retirement age to 64 from 62.
