[HIGHLIGHTS] The battle for pension reform in France. Macron's supporters declare the end of a democratic path and the opposition: not over

After three months of political and social crisis, French government agrees to raise the retirement age to 62. The law will be implemented by the end of the year.

The decision was made by the Constitutional Council, which is made up of nine members. The head of the National Assembly, Nathalie Loiseau, said the decision was not a political one, but a legal one. She said it was not the first time the council had been asked to make such a decision, but it was the only one to date.
