Is the size of this protest comparable to the retirement age one or is this on another level

Nah, the pension protest had much larger popular support, as it affected basically everyone. Most of the demonstrations here are just walks to protest about police brutality and the pointless death of a kid. And then you have the actual riots that make a lot of noise but don't have actual support.

but don’t have actual support.

Leading politicians support it. Melenchon in particular has not condemned it and has had a very "fuck around and find out" response to the situation. The left largely supports it.

EDIT: Downvoting does not change reality. What is wrong with americans and just trying to invent their own reality?
