The French are protesting against the government's pension reform. The protests are reminiscent of the French Revolution of 1798.
The French are angry about the cost of living and the lack of social safety net. They are also angry that the government is not doing enough to help the poor and unemployed. The protest movement is expected to continue for the rest of the year, with more demonstrations expected in the coming weeks. It is the latest in a long line of protests against the French government, which began in 2011.
