The French government has proposed raising the legal retirement age from 62 to 64 in a major reform to the pension system, a move that will likely to trigger mass strikes and protests.
The Macron government has already met with fierce pushback and anger over earlier similar proposals and major overhaul attempts.
The latest plan unveiled Tuesday by Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne proposes raising legal retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030, just stopping short of Macron’s previously proposed 65.

ZeroHedge reports: The Macron government has argued a major overhaul is urgently necessary to stave off a coming huge deficit in the system. Macron has been pushing for such reforms since his first election in 2017.
According to the details of the plan as summarized in BBC:
- A full pension from 2027 will require working for 43 years (instead of 42 years currently)
- Guaranteed minimum pension income of not less than 85% of the net minimum wage, roughly €1,200 (£1,060) per month at current levels, for new retirees
- Police officers, prison guards, air traffic controllers and other public workers in jobs deemed physically or mentally arduous will keep the right to retire early
- Their retirement age will be increased by the same number of years as the wider labor force
- End to so-called “special regimes” with different retirement ages and benefits for rail workers, electricity and gas workers, among others.
Some of the above listed ‘sweeteners’ such as the increase in minimum pension to around €1,200 over and above the current €900 is an attempt to win the public’s support ahead of it being presented to parliament in the next weeks.
Widely cited recent polls point to around 70-80% of the population opposing Macron’s desired retirement age of 64. Already labor unions are planning large protests to begin next week, including some strikes set to begin Jan.19, with the FT citing the following union leaders touting they are ready for the “mother of all battles”:
Frédéric Souillot, head of the Force Ouvrière union, put the government on notice earlier this week that unions were willing to shut down the economy to stop the pensions law. “If for Emmanuel Macron this is the mother of all reforms, then for us it is the mother of all battles,” he said.
Far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon called the proposal a “grave social regression”, while Le Pen called it “unjust” and said the French could count on her far-right party’s “total determination” to block it.
Protests have already been growing in some locales, with larger demonstrations expected next week…

Nous socialistes nationaux est venu à libéré Paris, nous ne l’avons pas détruit . . . Aucun pays ne mène sa propre course dans cette invasion parce qu’il s’agit d’un programme politique dirigé par l’ONU et poussé en avant par les Juifs et leurs marionnettes (les politiciens). La plupart des gens ne sauront tout simplement pas ou ne comprendront pas qu’il s’agit d’un programme politique. Cependant, certains parviennent à comprendre que les politiciens travaillent délibérément à importer des musulmans et à remplacer les gens, mais c’est à peu près tout, ils sont comme un ordinateur qui ne peut pas fonctionner parce que le programme ne le permet pas . . . Les banquiers juifs inondent l’Europe de musulmans et l’Amérique de déchets du tiers-monde.

Het joodse messianisme verspreidt al bijna tweeduizend jaar zijn giftige boodschap onder ons. Democratische en communistische universalismen zijn nieuwer, maar versterken alleen maar het oude joodse verhaal. Dit zijn dezelfde idealen… De transnationale, transraciale, transseksuele, transculturele idealen die deze ideologieën ons prediken (buiten ras, mensen, cultuur) en die de dagelijkse voeding zijn van onze scholen, in de media, in onze popcultuur, bij onze universiteiten en op onze straten zijn onze biosymbolische identiteit en onze etnische trots teruggebracht tot hun minimale uitdrukking.
Geen enkel land voert zijn eigen race tijdens deze invasie, omdat het allemaal een politieke agenda is die wordt geleid door de VN en naar voren wordt geschoven door de Joden en hun marionetten (politici). Meeste mensen gewoon niet zullen weten of begrijpen dat dit een politieke agenda is. Sommigen slagen er echter in te begrijpen dat de politici opzettelijk werken om moslims te importeren en de mensen te vervangen, maar daar houdt het op, ze zijn als een computer die niet verder kan omdat het programma het niet toestaat.

Only another fake people’s revolution orchestrated by secret societies and duplicitous agents of foreign Kingdoms will succeed And that’s not goin to happen. And the frogs are too obedience trained to do anything but throw sh*t.
Even now the Spanish are threatening revolts over the government turning off their irrigation to dry their farms up to dust but they won’t do anything more than the Dyke dwellers did.
So where is the new Robespierre and Danton ?
Though actually it’s 65 Years for a very long time in Britain and our Country, too . . .
