Macron’s government has just launched one of the most ambitious reforms of his presidency — to merge France’s 42 different pension systems into a single points-based system. Macron says it will be fairer, but some professions say they will lose out. “Today the government should really be asking us ‘How is it you’ve got a fund which is prosperous?’ rather than trying to take it off us without any debate,” he said.
Wary of huge demonstrations that have dogged previous pension reform plans, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, a Macron ally, promised on Thursday to take the time to listen to unions and broader public opinion.
