Macron, still unyielding, expresses regret
Emmanuel Macron, the French president, expressed contrition for the first time yesterday that a consensus had not been reached on his pension plan. After months of conflict, he strained for reconciliation — but offered no concessions and few specific proposals.
In a 13-minute national address, Macron appealed for a new “national élan” based on “calm, unity, ambition and action” and appealed for 100 days of concerted action to establish a “new pact of life and work.” But his speech was defiant: Days earlier, he officially enacted the pension law.
Resistance continues. As he spoke, crowds banged pots and pans outside city halls in an effort to drown out his voice. Labor unions rejected an invitation to begin talks today. Instead, they are calling for protests on May 1 — Labor Day and a national holiday — and say they won’t speak to him until after that.
What’s next: Starting in September, the legal age when workers can start collecting a pension will increase by three months every year until it reaches 64 in 2030.
