There was a draft bill in France going around to bring the national age for retirement from 62....to 64.
Lot of pressure building up, and some speculated that the votes wouldn't be there.
So Macron whipped up a special power that he has.....to just proclaim the age 64. Done.
Infuriating people? Oh yes.
Likely to be challenged in court? Yeah.
The question will be....does he have this power?
Germany watching this? Well.....currently the age in Germany is 65 years and 7 months. Around 2029, it will go to age 67.
I'll just say that most Germans are highly negative about the age going up, and probably half would prefer to see it in the 62 year group.....if this was a serious and physical job.
