Firefighters set themselves alight in fiery Paris protest

One of the main reasons for the ongoing protests in Paris is the president's decision to reform the national pension scheme which is deemed to be unsustainable, esp with the ageing population. Relate this to 2018 AQ on Youth and Politics where it is claimed that politicians now focussed on the elderly and ignore the youth....
Compare this with Singapore's Pioneer & Merdeka Generation Package...note the govt's emphasis that these two schemes are funded by money from the national coffers/reserves (i.e. existing money) and not from future taxation on youth, hence burden not added to youth...

France has been gripped by protests and strikes since last month over President Emmanuel Macron's controversial pension reform plans
