Fire Burns as Highway Blocked Amid Nationwide Protests in France

A highway near Chambery was blocked as protests against pension reforms continued across France on March 23 and a general strike brought hundreds of thousands onto the streets.

The strike was called in response to the government’s forcing through of unpopular pension and retirement reforms without a parliamentary vote.
