A member of France's Communist party protests the government's plan to raise the minimum retirement age from 60 to 62 yesterday. In case you're curious, in the US the retirement age is currently 67 for anyone born after 1960.

I agree -_- I'm tired of this, it's like nothing work anymore, no more gaz for everyone, teenagers demonstrating without knowing what's going on, etc... For 2-3 little years ! I think in France we ask too much, it's too much about "our perfect life would be 30 years of working 25h a week". Pathetic.

Every time I have traveled to France, there has been some sort of strike or labour protest. Every time. They are not doing the "lazy French" stereotype any favors here!
