"She has to resign," Le Pen said, urging Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne to step down.

The politician noted that the decision of the authorities could provoke an increase in protest moods on the streets of France, writes Le Parisien.

Also, the leader of the Communist Party of France criticized such a step of the government, noting that it made the reform "even more illegitimate."

BFMTV reported earlier that the French authorities decided to carry out a project of pension reform in the country without voting in the lower house on the basis of the 49th article of the French Constitution, which gives the executive the right to adopt any law without the consent of deputies.

Deputies of the National Assembly because of this demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Elisabeth Bourne.

As a result, Bourne announced the adoption of a law according to which the retirement age is increased from 62 to 64 years.
