Protesters storm Louis Vuitton’s Paris HQ ahead of ruling on French pension reforms

LVMH office stormed days after owner named richest man in the world

Angry protesters stormed the headquarters of a luxury brands group in Paris as unrest over Emmanuel Macron’s pension reforms showed little sign of abating ahead of a court ruling on the changes.

The French president has forced through an increase in the national retirement age from 62 to 64 - a move that has proved deeply unpopular with workers and has sparked multiple protests across the country, some of which have turned violent.

On Thursday, thousands of protesters took to the streets of Paris again to show their opposition to the reforms, which Mr Macron’s government pushed through parliament without a vote.
