The French president recognizes that there is a “demand for social justice and renewal of democratic life” in society that needs to be heard.
French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed this Monday that the pension reform was “necessary” to prevent the accumulation of deficits and has proposed a new “social pact” to improve workers’ conditions.
In a television intervention in the middle of the political crisis over the adoption of this reform, Macron insisted that the changes approved by his government were the only possible answer to the gradual increase in the number of pensioners and life expectancy.
But he has acknowledged that in the anti-reform proposals there is a “demand for social justice and renewal of democratic life” that must be listened to and has indicated that “the answer cannot lie in immobility or extremism”, so who proposed the new “social pact” together with employers and trade unions.
