Why is France burning? Why are millions of workers, students, and pensioners on the streets? This video dives deep into the real meaning behind the 2025 French pension protests—and why it’s about much more than retirement age.
In “France in Revolt: What the Pension Protests Really Mean,” we unpack the economic pressures, political mistrust, and social inequalities driving France’s largest uprising in decades. This isn’t just about pensions. It’s about democracy, class, and a broken contract between the government and its people.
