FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 63:   PENSION PROTEST CONTINUES



The CGT trade union says 1.3 million protested Friday while the government's estimate is 249-thousand.


But there can be no doubt that the protest movement against Emmanuel Macron's pension reform is still happening and public opinion still leans against it.


It's Week 63 of the Yellow Vests protest in France.


The media is polling and the question asked of all things is like this:



Do you think the protests will continue?




And 70 percent said Yes and 29 percent said No.



Why not ask questions like do you support the protests or will you vote for Macron in 2022 for re-election?


So far support the protests has a majority which won't help the government quash them.    So maybe get people thinking about the protests as something that's dragging on and needs to end.   So we get this line of pollster questioning.
