  1. These poor people don’t seem to understand that their politicians signed away the country’s sovereignty decades ago. The citizens have no say sorry, but, the Garden it turns out is just thorns and empty promises.

  2. First World problems 🤷‍♂️
    Meanwhile, Migrants risking lives and limbs to live in a country with work and democracy. Just say’n….

  3. Thank you France for loving your countrymen and people. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Stand up for safety nets and your ancestors legacy. Respect your elderly , special needs and all empathetic defenceless beings .Stand up speak out.

  4. Hey America! You wanna see HOW TO PROTEST? Look at how and when France protests. YOU MUST PROTEST HARDER THAN this small country!!!!

  5. Well done to all French people
    The Souverainetés belongs to you
    The people politicians comes and go
    But the people still there..unie all for
    Your freedom and Souverainetés.

  6. Communist unions destroy countries. Teamsters went bankrupt. Biden bailed them out. My recently retired trucker friend receives $160.00 a day now- compliments of the taxpayers 😮

  7. It is wonderful to see such solidarity. This seems inconceivable here in the states. The division is sewn to prevent this exact scenario.

  8. Protest should be held in front of leaders homes they will. Not come outside while you are standing there after a week being stuck at home they'll be ready to listen when you're not in front of them they don't care you have to apply pressure and that can only be done face-to-face

  9. Communism has taken over all free governments politicians do not care about the will of the people Nice France is willing to stand up against it United States they just take it like cowards and sit and complain and absolutely do nothing about it freedom is dead communism now rules the world

  10. Ah! Europeans. You think your economy is bad?
    Wait till you pay for the China Biden gas to heat your homes.
    Where do you assume that gas is coming from?
    Dah! Russia.
    Biden screwed you to build his financial pose.
    Repent unto GOD, perhaps you might escape the coming destruction!

  11. This is the ripple effect of France signing on with America's failing sanctions & failing proxy war. It's torpedoed their economy.

    Same thing is happening in other EU countries. I'm surprised this video is still up.

  12. Reform means reduction while flooding the country with foreigners who get a free living. The money has to come from somewhere

  13. President macaroni is a wef shill that has to cheat at every election because no one not even his own staffers would vote for him

  14. we need this in the US every job here is contracted out a lot of Workers don't have any rights and the Employers walk all over us.

  15. I am French and American, I have lived in the USA for 45 years with my American husband. I dislike certain things about the French, and one of them is their lack of understanding certain issues. President Macron is taking those economic measures because he has no choice! The money in the social security budget is just not there, and something has to be done.
    They don’t realize how easy they have it compared to us here. We don’t have large social security paychecks every month like in France, we don’t have four weeks paid vacations every year, and our healthcare is expensive and stressful to deal with economically.
