This war is not just about Europe, it's about the whole world.
We cannot let Russia, responsible for the conflict, win". Thus the French president Macron, in Monaco. "Russia is part of Europe and there can be peace in Europe only if there is an answer to the Russian question", he says "We need to talk ,but it is not yet the time for dialogue".
The EU "must play a role in global security. We are thinking of a bigger Europe", with Ukraine and Moldavia, but "it will take time". Ready for every effort, but also for a long war. Marseille is one of dozens of French cities where rallies against pension reform have taken place. It is the fifth national strike against a project that raises the minimum retirement age from 62 to 64.
In France, major strikes have been going on for weeks to protest against the pension reform proposed by President Emmanuel Macron. Among other things, the reform provides for the raising of the retirement age from 62 to 64 and the cancellation of the "special" regime for some categories of workers, which today gives them the possibility of early retirement.
The strike involved various sectors: transport, schools, the energy and gas industries. Meanwhile, the suspension of 30% of flights at Paris' Orly airport and cuts in electricity production remain. EDF workers have decreased the supply by more than 3,000 MW, the equivalent of a block of 3 nuclear reactors.
