Emmanuel Macron decided that there was no turning back: he promulgated the reform in the retirements in France, despite the massive mobilizations that accumulated throughout the country for four months. His decision caused protesters to greet him with insults and pan-lashes at his last visit to a factory, this Wednesday.

The event was repeated this Thursday during his visit to a ganges institutein the south of France, where he was booed by hundreds of people for the sanction of the pension reform. The demonstrators were kept at a distance by the police, but Macron decided to answer them.

Consulted later in an interview, he described the critics as part of “extremist parties” and assured that “I communicate with the people and many told me to resist.” “I will not resign, we will have to wait until 2027“added the president, referring to the upcoming elections.

The project of retirement reformwhich was approved by the Senate French but which did not obtain consensus in the Chamber of Deputieswas decreed and then unilaterally promulgated by Emmanuel Macronwith the accompaniment of international organizations such as thel International Monetary Fund. The reform consists of delay the retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030 and advance to 2027 the requirement to contribute 43 years, and not 42, to collect a full pension.

Macron’s measures for the second year of management

Faced with the acts of unpopularity that frame his administration, the president Emmanuel Macron plan a series of announcements for next week that could divert the agenda to other highly sensitive issues for French society. One of his campaign promises -which he has not yet addressed- is a management to the illegal immigration arriving in the European country.

Another one of the announcements has to do with a program of fight against social fraud and tax evasionwhich will imply an increase in the staff of the Directorate of Financial Judicial Investigation (SEJF) to reach more than 500 investigators who can trace actions of financial fraud.

At the same time, while outlining a project to improve accessibility to public services, it will point to a call for educational organizations and school institutions that will guarantee a rapid implementation of a reform of secondary vocational schools.
