  2. NO! Herr Macron bypassed the democratic process to pass legislation without a vote. This is the act of a dictator, who knew that if the democratic process was adhered to he could not get that legislation through. But that's how a democracy functions. The president doesn't get to do as he damn well pleases. Why should the French simply accept this despotic act? They should strike and process until this legislation is repealed. Herr Macron should probably also go for acting so undemocratically.

Of course, the government and courts turn a blind eye to the rampant illegal ageism that puts an end to most people's career a decade or two before they can retire.
