Continuing to protest President Emmanuel Macron's bill to increase the retirement age in France, demonstrators have called for more strikes and gatherings as the British king plans to visit France. These marches have increasingly begun to include violence. The door Bordeaux City Hall were set on fire and destroyed on Thursday evening, and groups of black masked individuals have attacked fast food restaurants, a supermarket and a bank. Police have been met with Molotov cocktails, fireworks and other projectiles and they have tear gassed protestors in turn. Despite the intensifying violence in the protests of recent days, the vast majority of protesters, numbering tens of thousands, are peaceful. Instead, they block buses, trains and vehicles.
