May day sent out signals of mayhem across the world as labor groups organized marches landing up into clashes of all kinds. Police was forced to fire tear gas in order to push back black-clad anarchists who ransacked business premises. Here is a low down on the world as it looks on the first day of the month of May:

  • Paris: In Paris, Macron’s re-elections have not been met with quite applause. The ones applauding their own government efforts were few while those criticizing and showing resentment were far more.  Those shaming their governments asked them to do more. Tensions erupted in Paris when some demonstrators smashed windows at some banks, a fast-food restaurant and a real estate. People want pay raise and Macron to drop plans to increase the retirement age.
