To protest the pension reform, the French trade unions launched the tenth national general strike on the 28th. There were many out-of-order behaviors in Paris. Some people walked on the railway tracks and caused the interruption of railway traffic. A group of men in black broke the floor-to-ceiling windows of the store, and the people on the side shook their heads. Demonstrators also burned sundries, setting the streets in flames. In Nantes, a large western city, some people even overturned cars and set them on fire on the spot.

The French Interior Ministry said regarding 740,000 people took part in the new round of demonstrations, although trade unions claimed as many as 2 million people responded. In order to control the scene, the authorities deployed 13,000 police forces across the country. The Paris riot police continued to use tear gas to disperse the crowd, arresting at least 27 people in one day.
