France's transport minister and several public transport authorities said on Sunday that strikes and demonstrations against the government's planned reform of the pension system will lead to severe public transport disruptions again on Tuesday.
"It will have very strong consequences," Transport Minister Clement Bonne said in an interview with France 3 TV. He added that he expected the strike to be "one of the most difficult" for travelers since the start of the protests.
Unions are calling for a general day of strikes and demonstrations for the sixth time since the beginning of the year, aiming to replicate the high turnout of the first major protest on January 19, when more than a million people demonstrated against an amendment to the pension system.
On its website, the railway warned travelers of serious disturbances in the movement of regional, regional and international trains, calling on passengers to follow up on its notices and notifications via messages on phones and e-mail the day before their trips after five in the evening, while affirming the right of passengers to change their travel dates and replace tickets for free or return them without Discounts.
President Macron is pressing for the implementation of this amendment that would raise the minimum retirement age from 62 to 64, saying it is very important to avoid the collapse of the state pension system.
The strikes have already limited electricity generation at some of the French Electricity Company's nuclear plants.
New language on German television: Berlin must quickly acknowledge an inconvenient truth
German journalist Wolfram Weimer stated that Russia had actually won this "war" and that Berlin should put forward a peace plan after it had been too slow to open channels of communication with Russia.
This came on the talk show "Maischberger" on German Channel 1 by journalist Sandra Maischberger, where Weimer said that Germany should now acknowledge an inconvenient truth, which is that Russia "won this war," wondering if German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is now Does he deal with his slogan that Russia must be defeated in this war, and Ukraine must win?
Weimer continued: "What interests me is what these results can lead to at the political level. Because Russia actually captured Donbass, and that became a matter of days. Since the area of this territory is huge, almost the size of the Netherlands and Belgium together, and Russia got a land corridor To Crimea, that is, the question now: How can Russia now lose this war? Ukraine has no power even with all the weapons that we will send to it.
Weimer stressed that Russia is also winning the game of international sanctions, and China has just joined Russia's side, and India is dealing with Russia more than ever before, and important developing countries such as Brazil and South Africa have left the West's camp, and the German chancellor was exposed to a scandal during his visit to South Africa.
Weimer indicated that these countries do not want sanctions, and do not want to talk about hostile war, and this means, according to Weimer, that Germany has lost the majority internationally in this battle, and he said: “I am afraid that we have to admit this to ourselves. And I believe that Macron’s initiative is based on His realpolitik understanding, We cannot win this war. We have to end it as soon as possible. It is good that we do our best on the diplomatic level, and this is what I expect from our Federal Government, because it has been slow to open channels of communication with Russia, where Berlin has to Now to put forward a peace plan, and I hope that the visit to Kiev will help in that."
