France’s government is open to more concessions on its plan to raise the retirement age by two years, said spokesman Olivier Veran, hinting at a bigger work-from-home push after labor unions threatened to bring the nation to “a halt.”
“We are in listening mode and the government changed its project various times already,” Veran said in an interview Sunday on France Inter in collaboration with France Televisions and Le Monde.
Beyond the debate on retirement age, “there’s the question of quality of life within the work place. This is fundamental. Our reform is a wider one and maybe this hasn’t been understood,” he said.
