Édouard Philippe presented this week his retirement reform plan, a highly anticipated topic in the context of his presidential campaign.

Contrary to his earlier mentions of a retirement age at 67, he ultimately set the legal retirement age at 65.

The reform aims to achieve savings through difficult measures, which could make its acceptance challenging among the French public, according to RFI.
