٠٠:٠١:٤٨French President Emmanuel Marcon receive Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and other government ministers at the Elysee Palace in Paris on Monday, amid a wave of violent protests sparked by the pension reform.
Officials reportedly discussed the status of the controversial pension reform that have sparked angry protests across the country.
Demonstrators took to the streets in large numbers in the past weeks to protest after Macron’s government bypassed a vote in the National Assembly to force through the plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030, and extend the required employment period for a worker to receive a full pension on retirement to 43 years.
Violent demonstrations took place in cities all across the country to oppose the package and the use of the executive powers, with heavy clashes between protesters and police, drawing concerns from the Council of Europe’s human rights commissioner.
