17 December 2019 Chaotic situation even today around Paris, with over 300 kilometers of traffic jams on the thirteenth day of mobilization to protest against the pension reform wanted by the government of President Emmanuel Macron. As reported by the issuer Bfm, access to the capital is particularly complicated with queues and slowdowns on the ring road and also to the airports. Also according to Bfm, between 400 and 600 'casseur' are expected at the event scheduled today in Paris. The authorities fear the presence of radical elements of the yellow and extreme left vest. The day of protest comes the day after the resignation presented yesterday by Jean-Paul Delevoye, high commissioner of the French government for the pensions and author of the disputed reform, which he had to leave for a story of conflict of interests. Tomorrow the unions will be received by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, while there are fears that the transport strikes may go up to Christmas, blocking the French on their way to the holidays.
