Rallies against rising prices and climate inaction of authorities are held in Paris. Thousands of people take part in them. They demand higher wages and social benefits, a freeze on electricity prices, as well as the introduction of a tax on excess profits and investment in environmental projects, reports france24.

Besides, people oppose raising the retirement age.

“The rise in prices is unbearable,” said left-wing France Unbowed (LFI) party deputy Manon Aubry. “It is the greatest loss of purchasing power in 40 years.”
