Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has proposed to suspend the pension reform in France, which includes raising the retirement age to 64, in a move aimed at avoiding the collapse of his government amid escalating political tensions.
In a speech delivered today, Tuesday, before the National Assembly on public policy, Lecornu clarified that the implementation of this law, one of President Emmanuel Macron’s flagship projects, will be postponed until after the presidential elections scheduled for 2027. This signifies the government’s intention to ease social and political conditions ahead of the upcoming electoral challenges.
