French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday decided to trigger Article 49.3 of the French constitution, which granted the government executive privilege to push through controversial pension reforms without a parliamentary vote. The move gives the opposition the right to immediately call a confidence vote and risks further inflaming the protest movement after months of demonstrations. The decision was made just a few minutes before the vote was scheduled at the National Assembly, France’s lower house of parliament. The retirement age has now been raised by two years to 64 in a pension reform that is the flagship legislation of Macron's second term. The unpopular plan has prompted major strikes and protests across the country since January. The move is expected to trigger a quick no-confidence motion in Macron's government. The announcement came hours after the Senate, France's upper house, adopted the bill Thursday morning in a 193-114 vote, a tally that was largely expected since the conservative majority of the upper house of parliament favours a higher retirement age. But the government was unsure of the vote numbers in the National Assembly, forcing French Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne to announce the triggering of Article 49.3.

He can do this because he doesn't face another election when his term is up, thankfully. He was never very popular, was only elected twice as the lesser of two evils and wouldn't win a third term were he allowed to run, not after this stunt.

French public sector strikes against pension reform

The 2019 French pension reform plan strike began on 5 December to protest against broad changes to France's pension system proposed by French President Emmanuel Macron. Reforming the pensions was one of President Macron's promises and there are three primary proposals of the pension reform plan. The first is to create a universal state retirement plan, which would replace the 42 individual retirement plans that exist in France. The second is a "points system", to give a pension in proportion to the contributions paid. The third is to "improve the pensions of the most disadvantaged." The result of the system would increase the retirement age of many jobs in France.

The 2019 French pension reform plan follows the prior pension reforms in 1993, 2003, 2010, and 2013 - but is far more comprehensive in that rather than adjusting the system. In September 2017, Jean-Paul Delevoye was appointed as High Commissioner for Pension Reforms, and was ordered to review the pensions system. In July 2019, he delivered a report of his recommendations, outlining the basics of a bill to be proposed to the National Assembly for pension reform. He resigned on 16 December after the press revealed he forgot to disclose 13 volunteer activities including a remunerated one for the French Federation of Insurances. Jean-Paul Delevoye was replaced by Laurent Pietraszewski, former employee of the French multinational retail group Auchan. If the bill becomes law, it will only come into force in 2025.

Government ministers have claimed that the pension reforms will simplify a complex system, as well as making it fairer. Unions claim that the system will increase inequality between pensions and decrease the general level of the pensions. This is the longest strike in modern French history. After a month of protest, polling reported in Jan 2020 a 61% support in favour of the strikes in the French population. The strikes, led in part by the CGT but also by the UNSA, the FSU and Solidaires unions, began prior to the disclosure of the details of President Emmanuel Macron's plan to merge France’s current 42 different pension schemes into one state-managed system. The French government maintains that merging the variety of profession dependent schemes is crucial. Unions say introducing a single system will mean millions of workers will end up working beyond the legal retirement age of 62 or receiving a far lower pension.

But will it appease protesters and end one of the longest strikes in French history?

The French government has offered to temporarily scrap a controversial part of its pension reform plans after weeks of strikes and protests, Euronews has learned.

Prime Minister Edouard Philippe wrote to social partners and French unions and said he was willing to temporarily cut their proposal to transition to a retirement age of 64 from 2022.

In the letter, seen by Euronews, Philippe said he was "ready to withdraw" the measure from the bill but hoped that they could come to an agreement by the bill's second reading.

The announcement came as protesters took to the streets once again to protest the proposed pension reforms.

It’s a start but not nearly enough.

French Workers Extend Strike Over Macron’s Pension Reforms

At a NATO summit in London this week, French president Emmanuel Macron seemed to style himself as the leader of Europe, and the only continental leader who can stand up to U.S. President Donald Trump.

But, like Trump, the French leader returned home on Thursday to a serious mess: a general strike over his plans to overhaul an over-extended pension system.

The strike, which has crippled the…
