Police were preparing for a massive protest in #Paris on Thursday, with shops, banks and businesses boarded up and police and gendarmes stationed along roads. Protesters have been galvanised by Macron's appearance on television on Wednesday, where he said the protests were legitimate but would not lead to a U-turn on the controversial law raising the official retirement age.
