About 4 000 demonstrators marched in Angers on may the 27th against the planned pensions reform. The demonstrators demanded the withdrawal of several measures, one of them consisting in a rise of the retirement age (60).
Demonstrators asked to the government to pay the pensions with financial sources "We don't ask to the financial world to make an effort", said a teacher. For one of her colleagues, the manifestation was an opportunity to express political ideas like : "We give all to the managers and nothing to the people". Others promoted the employment of young people "in order to pay our pensions". Others claims were linked to the protection of buying power or the defense of public services.
The cortege gathered on the morning General Leclerc square then went through down town till the highway banks (closed to cars) and came back. According to observers, the mobilization wasn't intense [picture credit : www.angers.villactu.fr].
