Video of France riots, burning tires as pension protesters clash with police


Strikes across France intensified on Friday with police firing tear gas at protesters in the city of Lyon. About 1000 high school students went on strike, overturning rubbish bins, smashing bus stops, and setting fire to stacks of free newspapers. The students and labour unions see President Nicolas Sarkozy's pension reform - raising the retirement age from 60 to 62 - as an attack on their well-deserved social protections. Workers at all 12 of France's fuel producing refineries have also joined the protest. Strikers burned tires outside an oil refinery in Donges, near Nantes in western France.

France Unrest: Street battles in Lyon, blocked Marseille airport, protests in Paris


It's another day of unrest in France, where Marseille's airport has been blocked by protesters and further demonstrations are planned in Paris. It's all part of the anger at proposals to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62, which would still be one of the lowest in Europe. Violence broke out in Lyon on Thursday morning, where police chased rampaging youths who overturned a car. Lyon also saw clashes on Wednesday between youths and police over French President Nicolas Sarkozy's austerity measures. French protesters blockaded Marseille's airport on Thursday, ahead of a possible Senate vote on raising the retirement age. Hundreds of workers blocked all access to the main airport for about three hours. Students barricaded a Paris high school and planned protests nationwide later on Thursday, as the Senate wraps up protracted debate on a reform that Sarkozy calls crucial to his presidency. At the Turgot high school in central Paris approximately 150 students barracked the front doors of the school with rubbish bins.

Masked youths clash with police as pension reform protests get radical in France


Masked youths clashed with police and set fires in cities across France on Tuesday as protests against a proposed hike in the retirement age took an increasingly radical turn. President Nicolas Sarkozy pledged to crack down on "troublemakers" and guarantee public order, raising the possibility of more confrontations with young rioters after a week of disruptive but largely nonviolent demonstrations. More than 200 protests and one-day strikes by workers in sectors across the French economy were planned around the country over a bill raising the retirement age to 62. In many cities, protesters were being joined by young people who appeared to be seizing an opportunity to lash out at police. Protests turned violent in the central city of Lyon, where rioters smashed several store windows and torched rubbish bins and cars. Police used tear gas in an attempt to disperse trouble makers.

2 Years Big Deal? France paralyzed over retirement age rise


In France, public transport is paralyzed, flights cancelled and one million people protesting, demanding the government backs down from retirement age reforms. The protests erupted into violence after President Nicolas Sarkozy vowed his conservative party would press ahead with raising the retirement age from sixty to sixty-two, still lower than in most European countries. Young people took to the streets throughout the country, hurling stones and bottles, burning cars and breaking windows in stores. Police used force and tear gas to push back the protesters after the interior minister had sent in officers to stop rioting. Paul Vallet, political professor from the University, Sciences PO says France's unrest and violence as unreasonable.

Engdahl on France: Cutting pensions instead of military spendings?


French police have broken the blockade of a refinery crucial for the capital's fuel supplies. A workers union that captured the depot said at least three people were injured in the clashes. A special operation ended the blockade that had lasted for more than a week, causing significant fuel shortages. Meanwhile, the Senate is expected to approve president Nicolas Sarkozy's proposal to raise the retirement age to 62 - the reason behind the protests. Frederick William Engdahl, an American writer and journalist based in Germany, questions the reform saying it could be aimed at protecting tiny elite in France.
