[Paris 13th Reuters]-Massive strike against President Macron's pension reform started on 13th in Paris, the capital of France.

During the morning rush hour, 10 out of 16 subway lines and 2 major regional rail lines were completely stopped. He hits his commute.

Antony, who works at a restaurant in Paris, told Reuters, “Today I will walk to work and it will take at least four hours.”

The strike on this day is expected to be the largest after 2007. The Macron administration is currently aiming to unify 42 types of pension schemes, but there is a strong rebound among citizens who lose their vested interests.

Prime Minister Philip said yesterday that pension reform would proceed with caution, but Frederick Lewis, chairman of the Paris Transit union “Management Alliance”, said, “There is no influence from the Prime Minister's announcement. It will be a massive strike. "

Under the Paris Transport Authority's pension system, the retirement age of employees working underground is 52 years, 10 years earlier than the normal public pension start age.
