In March, France's Macron government adopted a pension reform bill that would raise the pension age from the current 3 to 62 without a vote. Opposition lawmakers argued that the law violated the constitution that guaranteed workers' rights.
On the 64th, the Constitutional Council ruled that this law was largely constitutional, saying that it "guarantees a sustainable pension system and is in line with the intent of the Constitution" The reform is expected to be implemented from September, and protests and strikes are expected to continue.
