Lockdown continues in France
In the second day of the strike also, the public life has been hugely disrupted in the European country of France.
The strike, which began last day by workers against the pension reforms introduced by President Emanuel Macron, is expected to last at least till Monday.
A prominent workers’ organisation has acknowledged the rumour that the strength of the strike will remain unchanged until Monday.
The ongoing strike has badly disrupted the transport facilities in the country. The strike has literally put the country in the state of complete lockdown.
The strike is a big blow to Mr. Macron. What it mocks is the reformer image of the present French President.
Some workers’ unions are likely to meet today to decide their future course of action.
Last day, in several cities in the country, the strike has turned violent.
Meanwhile, there are rumours that an effort is on to bring the agitated unions to a discussion table with the country’s government.
The ongoing protest is expected to make a serious dent on the effort of Mr. Macron to emerge as the saviour of Europe.
The strength of a leader is the support he/she enjoys in his homeland. The moment he loses that his future as a leader is over.
