Hottest political issue: Why France keeps fighting over retirement age

|October 17, 2025
Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has once again proved that pension reform is the hottest of hot button political issues in France, pledging to suspend a deeply unpopular 2023 overhaul to save his government from collapse.

Lecornu promised on Tuesday to put President Emmanuel Macron's flagship reform on ice until after 2027 presidential elections to win a commitment from Socialists not to back votes of no-confidence against him.
