세계적 메이데이 시위
For a look at the news from around the world, we now turn to our Matthew Ashley standing by at the Arirang newsroom. Good morning.
Good morning.
Let's begin with the widespread demonstrations seen around the world this weekend.
That's right,... protesters across the world gathered for 'May Day',... to honor workers and shame governments into doing more for their citizens.
This year,... rallies in France opposed Emmanuel Macron's proposal to raise the retirement age from 62 to 65.
Taking place a week after Macron's successful re-election,... around 250 protests took place across the country, with the backing of labor unions.
Meanwhile in Cuba,... hundreds of thousands of people gathered on the streets of the capital, Havana, waving banners and pictures of Cuban revolutionary leaders.
May Day marches in the country are a celebration of the 63-year-old revolution,... and a government-led rejection of Cold War-era embargos imposed by the U.S.
Greece saw 10-thousand people march outside the parliament in the capital of Athens,... protesting rising living costs they say are unaffordable.
This comes as gas and power bills have skyrocketed,... following sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.
