The French Prime Minister adhered to the plan to raise the retirement age, as the unions prepared for another day of protests and strikes tomorrow, Tuesday, against this measure.
The proposal to raise the minimum retirement age from the current 62 to 64 is part of a major reform package proposed by President Emmanuel Macron to ensure the financial balance of France's social insurance system.
More than a million people took to the streets across France on January 19, and the government indicated that there was scope to amend some measures.
In recent days, France has faced a new wave of protests against the proposals of French President Emmanuel Macron to reform the retirement system, which was called for by a number of left-wing parties, after it was recently rejected by 1.1 million people in France.
And local opinion polls indicate that 52% of the French are confident that these protests will push the French government to back down from its plans regarding pension reforms.
