President Emmanuel Macron wants to push back the retirement age to 65, from 62 — one of the earliest retirement ages among industrialized nations.
France heads to a presidential first-round vote on April 10, followed by a final round on April 24. Opinion polls show support for Macron rising in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine — though some of that boost has faded more recently.
Crucially for the pension reforms, the vote for the French National Parliament which follows in June will be even more important — this is because it will tell us whether Macron will have a working majority or whether his party members will need to form coalitions to pass laws. She is now pushing for a 60-year retirement age for those who started working before they turned 20. Conservative Party candidate Valérie Pécresse is also supportive of a retirement age of 65.
