France's 'Spiderman' Alain Robert climbed the 48-storey building of Tour Total on Monday. Alain Robert climbed this 48-story building in Paris in support of protesters against President Emmanuel Macron's pension reform plans. After climbing this tower 187 meters (613 ft) high, Alain stood with both his hands raised. According to Euro News , Alain said, "I am using my fame for a good cause". 

Alain said that he is concerned about the pension reform plans of French President Emmanuel Macron. He said, the sponsors pay them only when they use their talent to climb for them.

Meanwhile, on 11 January, French Prime Minister Edward Philippe offered to compromise on the divisive part of the pension reform scheme. Under this, people between the ages of 62 to 64 will be given full pension.
