Polls show that a majority of French people disapprove of Mr Macron’s plan to raise the pension age from 62 to 64, with most people supporting the protests. All major trade unions joined in a rare show of unity, and the large street demonstrations are the first big test of the centrist president’s second term in office.
The president said on Monday night that the reform was “essential when we compare ourselves to the rest of Europe” and that changes had to be made to “save” the French state pensions system. The French retirement age of 62 is the lowest of any major European economy.The government has argued that changes are crucial to guarantee the future financing of the pension system, which is forecast to tip into deficit in the next few years.
Why are the WEF's young world leaders failing so miserably, could it be because they are easily influenced.?
