France’s biggest opposition parties are determined to continue their fight against the pension reform plan that on Friday ratified by the Constitutional Council.

“The fight continues,” reacted radical left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, while far-right leader Marine Le Pen said “the political future of pension reform is not sealed,” after the Constitutional Council decision.

The decision came after months of protests and political wrangling against this flagship bill of Emmanuel Macron’s second five-year term.

The court rejected six meters, which, however, are not considered fundamental to the essence of the reform, while he also rejected a request submitted by the Left for a referendum on an alternative pension law that would keep the retirement age at 62.

French unions today called on Emmanuel Macron not to enact the pension reform approved earlier today by the Constitutional Council and warned they would refuse to meet with the government before May Day.

“In the face of the massive rejection of this reform, the trade union committee formally requests not to pass the law, only way to calm the anger that is being expressed in the country”, says the press release of the trade union committee which has decided “not to agree to meet with the government” until May 1, Labor Day, for which it calls for a “big mobilization”.
