Fuel supplies low as French protest pension reform

PARIS – Officials have taken the extraordinary step of warning some flights landing at France's main airport to come with enough fuel to get back home, bracing for a possible fuel shortage after a new round of protests Saturday against plans to raise the retirement age to 62.

Police estimated some 825,000 people marched in cities across France to protest President Nicolas Sarkozy's plan to extend the retirement age to keep pension coffers full. That is fewer than during an Oct. 12 march — and far lower than the union estimate of 3 million. But unions are not relenting in fighting for what the French see as a near-sacred right to retire at 60.

A sixth round of nationwide protests is scheduled for Tuesday, a day before the Senate votes on the retirement reform, which must still return to both houses due to amendments tacked on during debates.

I thought France is a communist nation? Strikes are illegal in a communist rule. Go ask Mr Putin whast he would do if the Russisans went on strike.

If your head were not up your behind, you would know that neither France nor Russia are "communist" nations.

Then how come elections are rigged in Russia? How come Russian voters are still scared of the government?

Elections have been rigged in Chicago. Some American voters are scared of the Government. Does that mean we are communist? Do you even know what communism is?
