France’s economic problems force raising retirement age to 64
By Kristina Sobol
Budrigannews.com – Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced on Tuesday during a press conference that the French government will present a draft law with the goal of raising the standard retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030.
Borne said, “I am well aware that changing our pension system raises questions and fears among the French people,” and he added that the government now had to get people to support the reform.
One of the most important promises President Emmanuel Macron made when he was first elected in 2017 was to reform France’s pension system. The labor unions and the left-wing opposition bloc in France are likely to vigorously oppose the move.
