Similar development in France but at least they are taking action to resist the increased pension age.
On January 19, some 1.1 million voiced their opposition to the proposed shake-up.
Around one million people are expected to take to the streets nationwide against plans to boost the age of retirement from 62 to 64.
Sixty-one percent of French people support the protest movement, a rise of three percentage points from January 12.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has said raising the age of retirement was “non-negotiable”.
Yet, the head of the independent Pensions Advisory Council as saying: “Pension spending is not out of control, it’s relatively contained.”

“giving voters something to vote against can, at best, temporarily retard the advance of the false friends of the people. Decades of fealty to the “lesser evil” myth has only spawned an ever more skeptical, cynical, frustrated electorate, desperate for an alternative.
