Women mobilized Wednesday across France in protest against the government’s pension reform plan to mark International Women's Day after thousands of workers objected to the proposal the previous day.
As workers decided to remain on strike in some sectors -- public transportation, in particular -- Transport Minister Clement Beaune told the LCI broadcaster that traffic disruptions will continue until Friday.
Some electricity workers deliberately cut power Tuesday and Wednesday, which triggered an angry response from the government.
Government spokesperson Olivier Veran said that the action is illegal and it is not the same as a walkout or a demonstration. He also condemned the vandalism which occurred during the protests Tuesday.
