Despite heavy protests, French President Macron signs pension reform into law
French President Emmanuel Macron has signed a pension bill into law that will increase the retirement age by two years, despite facing widespread protests throughout the country, according to a report from Al Jazeera on Saturday.
The legislation, which has been the subject of significant opposition for months, was approved by France’s Constitutional Council on Friday, even though it was passed through parliament without a final vote.
The Constitutional Council, composed of nine members, has given its approval to crucial reform measures, including increasing the retirement age to 64 and extending the number of years of employment required for a full pension. The Council determined that the legislation is in accordance with French law.
According to Al Jazeera, implementing the bill became the biggest challenge of President Macron’s second term due to the significant public opposition to the proposed changes and his declining personal popularity.
