Protests against Emmanuel Macron's pension reform turned violent in Paris on Saturday night, March 18, after several thousand protesters gathered at Place d'Italie, where some people set trash cans on fire. 81 people were arrested, according to Agence France Presse.
Protesters are trying to pressure lawmakers to bring down Macron’s government and doom the unpopular retirement age increase he’s trying to impose without a vote in the National Assembly.
