More than 1.3 million people in France protested against controversial pension reforms on Thursday, according to local media citing the General Confederation of Labor unions, according to AA.
Workers from all sectors continued to oppose the reform plans the government announced in January.
The union counted 1.3 million demonstrators, while the Interior Ministry said there were 440,000, the daily Le Figaro said.
The union's figures for Thursday were down sharply from the February 11 and January 31 protests, which it said had 2.5 million and 2.8 million participants, respectively.
Police in Paris counted 37,000 protesters in the capital, while the union reported 300,000, said Le Figaro.
The reform plans, which have sparked public outrage, include raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 in 2030 and requiring at least 43 years of work to qualify for full pensions.
