Of these, there will be between 40,000 and 70,000 in the capital, of which about 1,000 would be “radical elements”: 200-300 from the “ultra-left” and “yellow vest ultras”.
The unions called 14th “Day of Action” to demand the repeal of the pension reform and the raising of the retirement age from 62 to 64. That same Thursday, the National Assembly is studying a proposal to withdraw the reform tabled by the Libertades, Independientes, Overseas and Territories Group (LIOT).
Yesterday, the Official Gazette published several decrees implementing the measures included in the pension reform, such as the increase in the retirement age or the new rules for calculating the pension.
