French protests against President Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform saw a sharp drop in mobilization on Thursday before a ruling on the law’s constitutionality.
Around 380,000 people took part in a 12th day of marches across the country, down from 570,000 a week ago, according to the Interior Ministry. This was well below a record 1.28 million turnout on March 7.
