‘Democracy at stake’: French protesters vent fury at Macron over pension push
French protesters downed their tools and marched once again in Paris and other cities on Thursday, galvanised by President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to ram his deeply unpopular pension reform through parliament without a vote, in what critics have branded a “denial of democracy”.
Emmanuel Macron: France’s Caligula?
Instead, on Macron’s orders, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne used a controversial clause in the Constitution, Article 49.3, to pass the bill.
The Republican Party are widely supportive of Macron’s reform bill, which raises the age of retirement from sixty-two to sixty-four, and issued instructions for its sixty-one Members of Parliament to vote against the motion. But nineteen of its MPs defied orders, adding to the dissent and disorder which has swept France in recent days, in parliament and on the street.
Macron holds firm on pension reform bill as protests escalate
Dismissing calls for a snap election or a referendum, he said the plan to raise France’s minimum retirement age from 62 to 64 would continue on its “democratic path” and come into force by the end of 2023.
The French president also reaffirmed his faith in Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, whose government narrowly survived a no-confidence vote triggered by Macron‘s use of special executive powers to bypass parliament.

The first motion, which was the only one ever likely to succeed, failed thanks to the decision of the conservative Republican party not to support it.
… and reform pensions so that most Czechs work until 68. This is the age in which most citizens are no longer fit and healthy. It is good to add that pensions in the Czech republic are ridiculously low, and the country spends a below-average share of GDP in the EU comparison.
What a shame. To appease the warmongers, during this time the Czech government raised annual military budget to match 2% GDP as they are planning to purchase F-35 fighter jets costing 100 billion CZK. The pension cuts will save them 19 billion this year.
Anger as French government pushes through pension change without vote

The French parliament saw chaotic scenes after President Emmanuel Macron‘s unpopular plan to reform the country‘s costly pension system was pushed through without a vote
Protests erupt as French government forces through higher retirement age
The pension reform bill passed the French Senate earlier on Thursday, but was not expected to pass the National Assembly – the lower house of the country’s parliament – where lawmakers were due to vote this afternoon.
The session was stopped early for Borne’s announcement. Lawmakers erupted into chaotic scenes as she explained the government’s decision, fighting to be heard as lawmakers sang French national anthem “La Marseillaise” and others held signs reading “No to 64 years.”
French President Macron overrides parliament to pass retirement age bill
French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday resorted to using special constitutional powers.
The pensions overhaul has been met with widespread protests and strikes across France.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced to the assembly that the government would trigger Article 49.3 of the French Constitution.
Protests in Paris as Macron forces through controversial pension reform
But the government was unsure of the vote numbers in the National Assembly, forcing French Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne to announce the triggering of Article 49.3.
The decision runs the risk of further inflaming the protests and strikes that have rocked France over the last months. It also gives the opposition the right to immediately call a confidence vote in parliament.
The opposition reacted with fury to the decision to avoid a vote after weeks of debates on the legislation.

Will strikes force Macron to back down over French pension reforms?
France saw a wave of strikes against Emmanuel Macron’s pension reforms on Thursday, causing disruption to trains, flights, schools and even hospitals. Polls show a majority of the French oppose the president’s measures – and analysts say maintaining public support of strikes will be crucial to unions’ chances of forcing a U-turn.
France‘s Senate passes controversial pension reform

France braces for a fourth day of pension reform protests
The protests are a crucial test both for Macron and his opponents. The government has insisted it’s determined to push through Macron’s election pledge to reform France’s generous pension system. But strong popular resentment will strengthen efforts by labor unions and left-wing legislators to try to block the bill.
Frankreich erneut vor Massenprotesten wegen Pensionsreform
Bereits jetzt arbeiten viele Menschen in Frankreich länger als bis zum Alter von 62 Jahren, wenn sie mit Erreichen der Altersgrenze noch nicht lange genug für eine abschlagsfreie Pension eingezahlt haben.

F: Massenprotest und Streik gegen geplante Pensionsreform
Mit 67 Jahren gibt es dann unabhängig von der Einzahldauer Rente ohne Abschlag – das will die Regierung beibehalten. Die monatliche Mindestrente will sie auf etwa 1.200 Euro hochsetzen.
Die Gewerkschaften hatten zu dem Streik- und Protesttag aufgerufen. Sie halten die Reform für ungerecht und brutal.
Streik und Proteste in Frankreich: Mehr als eine Million gegen Rentenreform
Für den 31. Januar kündigten die Gewerkschaften einen neuen landesweiten Streik- und Aktionstag an. Bereits am ersten Aktionstag gingen bereits mehr Menschen gegen die geplante Rentenreform der Mitte-Regierung unter Präsident Emmanuel Macron auf die Straße als beim Höhepunkt der Proteste in dessen erster Amtszeit. Damals hatten sich nach wochenlangen Streiks gegen eine Rentenreform Ende 2019 an einem Tag gut 800.000 Menschen beteiligt.
More than 1 million protest across France against Macron’s pension reform
– More than a million people took to the streets across France to protest against the Macron government’s plans to reform the pension system, of which a proposal to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 is among the most controversial. Macron insists the reform is needed to reform a moribund system – but some of the government’s own experts have said the pension system is in relatively good shape and would likely eventually return to a balanced budget even without reforms.
– The interior ministry said some 1.2 people protested across France, 80,000 of them in Paris. Union organisers, however, estimated the number at 2 million, with 400,000 protesting in Paris.
Perfide: Pflegeheim will Bewohnern Elektrogeräte verbieten
Kaffeemaschine – verboten. Ventilator – untersagt. Auch Eierkocher, Wasserkocher und Kühlschränke dürfen die Bewohner auf ihren Zimmern ab dem 1. September nicht mehr benutzen. Das hat die Heimleitung angeordnet. Begründung: Die Einrichtung will in der Krise Strom sparen. Und um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, greifen die Verantwortlichen knallhart durch“, schreibt der Schleswig-Holsteinische Zeitungsverlag (SHZ) in einem Artikel, der leider hinter einer Bezahlschranke versteckt ist.

UK-Desaster: 92 Prozent der Covid-Toten geimpft
Die britische Regierung sieht aber keinen Zusammenhang. Noch immer heißt es im Bericht auf Seite 38 „die Rate der Krankenhauseinweisungen wesentlich höher bei ungeimpften als bei geimpften Personen“.
Die Aufschlüsselung der Todesopfer zeigt etwas ganz anderes: 92 Prozent der Menschen, die mit Covid gestorben sind, sind geimpft.
Quelle, Seite 43.
72 Prozent, also 3.687 von 5.084 Opfern, sind auch geboostert. Es ist wichtig zu betonen, dass die meisten der Verstorbenen sehr betagt sind, deren Tod nicht an Covid gelegen haben muss. 401 Personen waren ungeimpft.
Schockierend: Polizei reißt alten Mann brutal zu Boden
Dann, so berichten es Bürger, seien drei Mannschaftswagen der Polizei auf den Marktplatz gefahren. Die jungen Polizisten seien ausgestiegen und hätten Ausweise kontrollieren wollen.
Um 19.25 Uhr, so zeigen es die Zeitmarkierungen der Fotos und der Filme, hätten die Polizisten von einem älteren Mann den Ausweis sehen wollen. Der Mann wollte erst den Dienstausweis der Polizisten sehen. Es gab ein Hin und Her. Der ältere Mann soll „Bananenrepublik“ gesagt haben. Das wollen Passanten gehört haben.
Das Weitere kann man auf dem kurzen Video sehen. Ausweiskontrolle auf Pfälzisch.

Wieso sterben kurz nach einer Impfung plötzlich Ungeimpfte, die damit doch gar nichts zu tun haben? Und wieso sterben kurz nach der zweiten Impfung plötzlich die erst einmal Geimpften?
Die Antwort könnte lauten: weil sie gar nicht ungeimpft beziehungsweise einmal geimpft sind, sondern lediglich ihre zweite Spritzung noch keine zwei Wochen her ist. Diesen Schluss legt eine Arbeit der auf diesen Seiten bereits zum Thema „Pandemie der Ungeimpften“ zitierten Londoner Professoren Norman Fenton und Martin Neil et al. nahe, die den vielsagenden Titel trägt: „Latest statistics on England mortality data suggest systematic mis-categorisation of vaccine status and uncertain effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccination“ (deutsch: Jüngste Statistiken zur Sterblichkeit in England deuten auf eine systematisch falsche Zuordnung des Impfstatus und unsichere Wirkung der Covid-19-Impfung hin).
