French President Emmanuel Macron's government attempts to revive his economic reform drive and score a major political victory this week with a launch of the pension system's overhaul in the face of vehement trade union opposition.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne is to detail on Tuesday plans to make the French work longer, most likely by raising the retirement age to 64 or 65 from 62 currently.
Pension reform in France, where the right to retire on a full pension at 62 is deeply cherished, is always a highly sensitive issue and even more so now with social discontent mounting over the surging cost of living. Now, he can count on tougher union opposition than in 2020 with even the reform-minded CFDT - France's biggest union - threatening to protest, which it abstained from three years ago despite misgivings about the reform at the time.
Desperate to keep social tensions in check, the government has spent tens of billions of euros to soften the blow of record power and gas prices, which has kept French inflation lower than in most other EU countries.
