PARIS — French authorities plan to deploy 11,000 police, including 4,000 in Paris, on Tuesday, when unions have called a nationwide day of protests against President Emmanuel Macron's law to raise the retirement age, the interior ministry said on Sunday. In a tweet, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the extra policing would 'ensure the security of the demonstrations and guarantee the right to demonstrate'. Unions have been planning Tuesday's protests since early May and they precede discussions scheduled for Thursday on a draft bill proposed by the centrist Liot party aimed at cancelling the reform.
