Faced with the discontent in the street, the government does not flinch.

Invited this Thursday evening on France 2, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne reaffirmed the need to implement the pension reform.

"It's not simple" but it is "essential", she declared on the set of the political program "L'Événement".

"It is essential to carry out a reform to preserve our pay-as-you-go pension system", even if "asking the French to work gradually longer is not easy", affirmed the head of government, two days after a new massive mobilization of opponents to this reform.
