Paris garbage collectors protest against President Emmanuel Macron's plan to raise retirement age
ABCHeaps, mounds and piles of garbage are growing daily in Paris and, in some places, it stands higher than a human. Key points: President Emmanuel Macron plans to raise the retirement age from 57 to 59 for garbage collectors Garbage collectors have been striking for 16 days City Hall says private companies have collected garbage in "highly impacted" districts A strike by Paris garbage collectors — which reached its 16th day on Tuesday — is taking a toll on the renowned aesthetics of the French capital. Mr Salazar is among the majority of French who, polls show, oppose President Emmanuel Macron's decision to raise the retirement age by two years, from 62 to 64 for most and from 57 to 59 for garbage collectors. Using private companies, garbage has been collected in "highly impacted" districts, City Hall said. It has a big impact," said Tony Gibierge, 36, who is opening a restaurant in several months on a street in southern Paris — a street currently heaped with garbage.
