In France, protests against the pension reform promoted by the Macron administration are intensifying.
As a result, the visit to France, which had been prepared as the first official foreign visit after the accession of King Charles of England to the throne, was postponed.

The French President Office and the British Royal Family announced on the 24th that the visit to France by King Charles and Queen Camilla, which was scheduled for the 26th to 29th of this month, has been postponed.

He said that this was because large-scale protests against pension reform were being called for on the 28th in the capital city of Paris and other cities, and the schedule would be adjusted again to welcome the king and his wife in a friendly environment.

The Macron administration adopted a bill to raise the pension age from the current 62 to 64 on the 16th of this month, using constitutional provisions and without a vote in parliament, despite opposition from opposition parties and others.

Citizens protesting against this protest have been held in various places, and on the 23rd, some of the participants clashed with the police.

King Charles and his wife's visit to France was being prepared for their first official visit to France since their accession to the throne last September, but protests against French pension reform have affected the diplomatic agenda.
