"Macron is completely bunkered" and cannot leave the Elysee Palace without arousing the anger of the people, says Marine Le Pen. Only 26% of French people approve of Macron's work, according to the BVA.
French trade unions had previously promised that they would refuse to meet with him if he approved the pension reform. The pension reform will see the retirement age in France rise from 62 to 64 years, starting in the fall of this year. It is the first time that the pension age has been increased in more than 30 years.
