Some 3,000 people gathered in Rennes on Tuesday to protest against the French government's plans to reform the pension system. "We don't want to make the other side lecture us.
We want to show that we are not going to give up," said one of the demonstrators. The protest is scheduled to continue until the end of the month, when the French parliament is expected to vote on the reform plan. The French government has said it will not change its plans unless the reform is approved by a majority vote.
