The petition launched last week by the eight main French unions against a pension reform deemed "unfair and brutal" crossed the 500,000 signature mark on Wednesday.

On the eve of a first day of strike and demonstrations against the postponement of the legal age to 64, the text published on the change.org site and carried by the CFDT, the CGT, FO, the CFE-CGC, CFTC, Unsa, FSU and Solidaires totaled nearly 515,000 signatures at the start of the afternoon.

Another petition launched by students and high school students

The text denounces a project which “will hit all workers hard, and more particularly those who started working early, the most precarious”.

He castigates a government project which “has nothing of an economic necessity”, but is “the choice of injustice and social regression”.


Another petition, launched by students and high schools and claiming that "for young people too, it's NO", totaled some 35,000 signatures still on change.org.
