Police officers are gathering in Paris to demonstrate against the government's proposed pension reform. The protesters gathered in front of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council building just ahead of a speech by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe who is expected to set out his blueprint for reform.
Three major police unions are taking part in the public action - Alliance Police Nationale, UNSA-Police Unit and SGP Police - FO.
The government is planning to introduce a universal pension system that, according to French trade unions, will lead to negative changes for private-sector workers, who will have to work beyond the legal retirement age in order to receive a full pension.
