France protests: violent clash between police and locals over pension reforms in Nantes
Telegraph, 24 Mar 2023
French police clash with a group at the 13 and 3 bar in Nantes, eastern France, after a protest against President Macron's pension reforms.
The King’s state visit to France was postponed amid increasingly violent protests in Paris, with graffiti daubed on a wall reading: “Charles III do you know the guillotine?"
The decision to abandon the tour at the eleventh hour was taken by the French and British governments “after a telephone exchange” between President Emmanuel Macron and the King on Friday morning.
Macron asked for the visit to be postponed as the prospect of him dining alongside the royals at a lavish banquet while his country burned became increasingly untenable.
