French President Emmanuel Macron expressed in his speech today, Wednesday, his desire for the controversial pension system reform to be "implemented by the end of the year", considering it "necessary". He said, "I am not seeking re-election... but between short-term opinion polls about my popularity and the public interest of the country, I choose the public interest of the country." Macron added, "This reform is not a pleasure or a luxury, but a necessity," pointing to the need to respond to the deterioration of pension funds and the increasing number of elderly people in France, which is one of the European countries with the lowest retirement age. It should be noted that the law was adopted on Monday based on Article 49.3 of the Constitution, which allows a bill to be passed without a vote in the National Assembly. The law specifically provides for raising the retirement age from 62 to 64, which has angered public opinion.
