Left-wing protestors say 'enough' to Macron's French reforms

Updated:7 years, 6 months ago

Paris (France), May 06 (ANI): Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in Paris to protest against the stream of economic reforms brought in by French president Emmanuel Macron since coming to power a year ago. Protestors held "Stop Macron" banners and chanted "one year is enough" amidst drummers and marching bands in an anti-celebration of Macron's time in office organized by a member of the hard-left France Unbowed movement. The protest comes almost a year since 40-year-old Macron won the presidential elections. Members of France Unbowed, headed by Jean-Luc Melenchon have sought to fire up a backlash against Macron's policies by getting backers onto the streets. France Unbowed is pushing to hold a much larger rally with unions and other forces on May 26.
