  • Protests to stop sending arms to Ukraine begins in Paris
    Supporters of the French Les Patriotes party are marching today in Paris against the pension reform, calling Macron to step down, and for leaving the EU and NATO, March 18, 2023 (Social media)

The streets of Paris witnessed thousands on Saturday demonstrate against supplying arms to Ukraine and calling for France to withdraw from NATO.

According to RIA Novosti, the protests, named "March for Peace", watched citizens near the Luxembourg Palace hold up signs that say: "Stop War Provoked by US and NATO," "Freedom, Truth, Resistance" and "No-Confidence Vote is Peace in France."  

Why is Western media ignoring the anti-NATO protests happening today in Paris, France?

Yesterday, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced that the law extending the retirement age in France from 62 to 64 years old was adopted by the government using Article 49.3 of the constitution - an article that allows the government to pass a law without a vote in parliament. 

At the time when the law was adopted, the eighth nationwide demonstration against the reform was already on.

"It's a total failure for the government," far-right leader Marine Le Pen told reporters. "From the beginning, the government fooled itself into thinking it had a majority."

In light of the protests, city cleaners have been on strike for 10 days, causing the streets of Paris to accumulate over 7,600 tonnes of rubbish.

Trains, schools, public services, and ports have since January been affected by strikes against the proposed reform, amid some of the biggest protests in decades.

On Twitter, the Mayor wrote an open letter to the Paris prefect that read: "The paradox is that the government requires local authorities to solve a problem that they themselves have created. I want to inform you that I will not fulfill your requirement."

Despite polls consistently showing growing opposition to the reform and Macron's own popularity dwindling, the French President insisted on keeping a key campaign pledge he made when he swept to power in 2017 and before his reelection in April 2022.
