French news headlines:Le Monde: Retirement: François Fillon sticks to his positions. The Minister for Social Affairs said his proposals were not at the moment open to negotiations, thank you very much, notwithstanding the hundreds of thousands who marched by his office. If he can wait this out and stick to his guns, he'll be the first French government official to do so since... Louis XIV?
Le Figaro: Retirement: The "No" shows his determination. Same story as above.
Libé: Just to stick to the theme, we'll run Libé's number two headline: Fillon on front line remains inflexible.
Ouest-France: 500,000 "Nos" to Fillon's plan. The cops say 360,000 demonstrated; the organizers claim 730,000. Either way, it's a small percentage of the population of France - hell, even of Paris - but a lot of people in the streets all the same.
