France frozen
A nationwide strike, organised by workers who are unhappy with Emanuel Macron’s pension reforms, have almost completely frozen the European country of France.
Along with transport workers, even police, lawyers and hospital and airport staffs have come out in support of the strike.
The strike has badly affected the transportation system in the country. Several flights have been cancelled. The rail transport has cut down its number of services. The road transport is almost completely in a standstill state.
The present strike is the most serious strike the European country of France has witnessed in its recent history.
Mr. Macron, who came to power as a solution to the problems the French people face, is now largely unpopular in the country.
The anti-establishment wave, which helped Mr. Macron to march to power, is at present against him.
Most of his reforms have ended up against the interest of the people of the country. The controversial pension reform is one of them.
If the things progress in this manner, the wave that helped him to win the power of the country itself will push him down from the seat of power.
What Mr. Macron represents at present is failed populism. The rest of the Europe has a lesson in the French experience.
