A massive nationwide protest took place in Russia today to protest government plans to raise the retirement age.

Government in that country plans to raise the retirement age from 55 to 63 for women and from 60 to 65 for men. But after initial complaints, President Vladimir Putin, in a nationwide address, agreed to some concessions by reducing the new retirement age for women to 63. Yet the public was still enranged and a nationwide protest to resist the plan took place today across Russia.

According to the Guardian, thousands of people across Russia joined protests on Sunday against government plans to raise the pension age, despite recent promises by President Vladimir Putin to soften the unpopular measure.

The protests show that the proposed policy remains a politically sensitive issue for the government despite concessions offered by Putin in a televised address on Wednesday. During the speech, Putin took personal responsibility for the reform for the first time and described it as a financial necessity.

cheesy

If I was in their shoe, I would have done the same

That was quite an indecisive step by the Russian government

Do they want to overused their civil servants?

That's sheer wickedness for their citizens

The protest is nothing but a rational move

Expatriates like me all saw the rationale in it
