THE ESSENTIALS

The Constitutional Council validated last night the essence of the pension reform, including the article providing for the postponement of the legal age to 64 years. On the other hand, he censored the introduction of the senior index and the request for a referendum of popular initiative submitted by the left.

Emmanuel Macron promulgated the reform in the night, and it appears this morning in the Official Journal. A maneuver denounced by the oppositions, when the government believes that the text has arrived "at the end of its democratic path" and wants to move on.

Several demonstrations took place in France last night following the decision of the Constitutional Council. Clashes broke out, and a fire hit the door of a police station in Rennes.

11:19 am: "Like thieves", the night signature does not pass

Left-wing politicians have not ceased to castigate, this morning, the timing of the promulgation of the pension reform, in the middle of the night, "like thieves", according to François Ruffin. A "provocation", denounces Marine Tondelier, of a "gang leader who takes advantage of the night to commit his crimes", criticizes Ian Brossat.


Like thieves, Emmanuel Macron and his gang promulgated their pension law in the middle of the night.
Because they know it well: what they have just practiced is a democratic hold-up.
This brutality marks, in fact, their fragility. They are already a thing of the past.

11:10 am: Three police custody in Rennes unrelated to the fire of a police station

Three men were placed in custody after clashes occurred Friday night in the center of Rennes during an unauthorized demonstration in reaction to the validation of the pension reform by the Constitutional Council, we learned Saturday from the prosecutor's office.

One of the men is suspected of "violence against a person holding public authority" and the other two of "destruction by dangerous means", in this case garbage fires, says the prosecutor of the Republic of Rennes, Philippe Astruc. The latter stresses that these three measures of police custody are not related to the fire, Friday night by demonstrators near the Place Sainte-Anne, the facade of a police station and the door of a former convent converted into a convention center.
