Paris Protests 시위, 항의.

Violence in the streets as more than a million young people riot 폭동을 일으키다 for the right to a job for life.

From ABC News, this is World News Tonight with Bob Woodruff and Elizabeth Vargas.

 

We turn now to France where more than a million people demonstrated in sweeping 맹렬한 and sometimes violent protests today.

They’re marching against a new law

that would allow companies to fire young workers without cause.

The French have long enjoyed privileges 특별한 혜택 all sorts of other people around the world do not have.

ABC’s David Wright has more from Paris on today’s battle lines.

 

As the sun set <해, 달이>지다, the violence flared <싸움·병 등이> 격발하다.

Young demonstrators taunted 조롱하다, 비아냥거리다 French police.

The police in full riot gear 의복 used paintball guns to identify the trouble makers,

then plain-clothes 사복 officers moved in

and hauled them out.

The protestors are throwing everything from bottles to bicycles at the police

who are now using force to restore 복원하다 order.

 

The Paris police have a lot of experience at this, but even for them, it’s a struggle.

These students and union workers are protesting a new law set to 본격적으로 ~하기 시작하다 take effect next month

that allows companies to lay off 임시 해고하다 workers under 26 without giving cause

during their first 2 years on the job.

“One day we work, the day after they can say…today, finish… you work somewhere else.

 

French workers are used to ~에 익숙한 the good life.

They have a 35-hour work week.

They get 5-weeks vacation a year.

And it’s extremely 매우, 몹시 hard to fire them.

1 in 4 young people here are unemployed,

in part because French companies don’t want to promise them a job for life.

 

France’s government says the only way to create job opportunities

is to sacrifice some job security.

Business owners like the new law.

But a majority of the population here likes it the old way.

The French government is not backing down 굽히다, 철회하다

and the protestors show no signs of giving up the fight.
