PARIS, Jan 30 — France’s prime minister on Sunday ruled out backtracking on a plan to raise the retirement age as unions prepared for another day of mass protests and strikes against the contested reform.

They included special deals for people who started working very young, and provisions for mothers who interrupted their careers to look after their children and for people who invested in further education. On that occasion, the government put the turnout at 1.1 million; the unions said more than two million.“It’s looking like there will be even more people,” said Celine Verzeletti, member of the hard-left union CGT’s confederation leadership.

The left-wing opposition has submitted more than 7,000 amendments to the draft in a bid to slow its path through parliament. On Sunday evening, Borne held a meeting with several of her ministers and senior government officials to discuss how to proceed.In addition to protest marches, unions have called for widespread strike action for Tuesday, with railway services and public transport expected to be heavily affected.
