Anger flares up again in France against what they call the “junk reform” of pensions after knowing the approval of the Constitutional to delay the retirement age to 64 years. The high court rejects only minor articles of the reform, such as imposing a quota on large companies to encourage the hiring of older people and sanctioning them if they do not comply.

With this ratification, the streets of Paris have returned to burn on a night that is expected to be complicated by the ratification of the decree promoted by Emmanuel Macron to increase the retirement age. Although the prime minister turns to say that in this battle there have been no winners or losers, the people continue to reject it.

Meanwhile, Macron intends to sign the Law in less than 48 hours, so that it can enter into force on September 1. And it is that, despite the fact that Macron has not promulgated the law yet, he promised from the outset that, after obtaining the approval of the Constitutional Council, which anticipates new mobilizations in the streets, would affix his signature “in the next few days”.

France’s main unions have refused to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron, until you withdraw the pension reforma warning that they have issued after the Constitutional Council has decided to support this Friday the legislation promoted by the Government.

The inter-union has refused the possibility of meeting Macron on Tuesday and has assured that, if the law is approved, “no union organization will meet at any time with the Executive to talk anything other than withdrawing the pension reform”.

In addition to demanding that the Government not give the ‘green light’ to the reform and that it send it back to the National Assembly, the unions have announced a new day of demonstrations and strikes for next May 1, as reported by the general secretary of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), Sophie Binet.

For now, very hot hours are coming that have forced to shield the Constitutional Court of the country since early in the morning to avoid altercations.
