PARIS, March 13 (Reuters) - Strikes blocking fuel deliveries from French refineries ran into a sixth day on Monday, piling further pressure on President Emmanuel Macron as he races to shore up support for unpopular pension reforms in a final parliamentary vote. The last and crucial moment would then be a final vote, Thursday, both in the Senate and in the National Assembly.

PARIS, March 12 (Reuters) - French unions will keep on fighting against President Emmanuel Macron's pension reform plan despite the upper house of parliament approving the text on Saturday, a leader of one of the main unions said on Sunday. "Given the mobilisation of the population, the level of opposition to the plan (...) you cannot resort to a democratic flaw by using this 49:3 procedure," he said on BFM TV. "In my opinion, (using 49:3) would be very dangerous as it risks creating a great degree of bitterness," Berger added. French unions have called for an eighth round of nationwide demonstrations on that day to keep up the pressure on the government and parliament.

Apelului la demonstraţie i s-au alăturat zeci de ONG-uri, sindicate şi partide politice pentru a denunţa lipsa de ambiţie a proiectului de lege "climă şi rezilienţă", prezentat drept unul din textele emblematice ale preşedinţiei Emmanuel Macron. Proiectul de lege îşi propune să facă credibil obiectivul de reducere a emisiilor de gaze cu efect de seră cu 40% până în 2030 comparativ cu 1990, rezultat din propunerile Convenţiei cetăţeneşti privind clima (CCC). La Paris, numeroşi protestatari au mărşăluit purtând un banner pe care se putea citi "Pentru o adevărată lege a climei: Stop bla bla" într-o procesiune festivă, animată de muzicieni. Alte pancarte denunţau atitudinea preşedintelui: "Macron, legea ta din carton, este coşul de gunoi galben" sau "Fără filtru, ne fumezi". Mulţi manifestaţi au cerut parlamentarilor să îmbunătăţească proiectul de lege pentru care au fost depuse aproximativ 7.000 de amendamente.
