PARIS (AP) – Protesters opposed to raising France’s retirement age are blocking or disrupting access to airports in Paris and around France.

The ADP Paris airport authority says protesters are blocking the main road leading to one of two terminals at Orly Airport.

Unions are also staging a protest Wednesday at Charles de Gaulle airport, the country’s biggest.

The CGT Transport union says protesters set up barricades blocking access to Toulouse airport. Police dislodged them, but the protesters then marched along the onramp leading to the airport entrance.

The union says protests also shut down the Clermont-Fermand airport in the south and disrupted airports in Nice and Nantes.

French authorities have forced strike-shuttered fuel depots to reopen to ensure gasoline supplies.

And rioters rampaged through a Paris suburb, breaking shop windows and hurling stones at police.

    Well, at least these guys are doing something about their dissatisfaction with the government. We may have to take a leaf out of their book after Nov 2 if things don’t turn out well.

    And, a shortage of brie isn’t a bad thing. That sh!t stinks!
