So I am guessing the reason the pension age is rising is so that in a few decades workers have paid in enough to cover their pensions (fair enough) people are also living longer so can therefore work longer to help facilitate the above.
What would happen if Macron gave in and didn't do this BUT made a note for a future government to remind those of retirement age the reason there isn't enough money for their pension is becaused THEY objected to this decades ago and provisions that were planned were not put in place as a result.
Perhaps, at that point they may reflect on their youth, the protests and realise the government had their interest at heart.
Sorry I thought this was about France,
I agree both countries the protests are getting out of hand, more worrying is what us going to happen in Israel as Netenyahu seems desperate to cling on to power despite being a criminal, meanwhile in the US a former president is trying to regain power despite facing indictment for criminal activity.
They would make a great double act.
