French lawmakers have voted to approve the suspension of President Emmanuel Macron’s controversial pension reform — a decision marking a major political setback for his administration and a significant victory for unions and protest movements that have opposed the measure for months.<br /><br />The reform, which raised the minimum retirement age from 62 to 64, triggered some of the largest demonstrations in France in decades, with millions of workers, students, and public sector employees taking to the streets since its introduction.<br /><br />The National Assembly’s decision to suspend the reform followed growing public frustration, months of strikes, and a series of clashes between police and protesters in major cities including Paris, Marseille, and Lyon.<br /><br />#France #PensionReform #Macron #FrenchPolitics #BreakingNews #APT #Paris #Strikes #Protests #FrenchParliament #NationalAssembly #LaborUnions #WorkersRights #FranceNews #EuropeanPolitics
