After President Emmanuel Macron pledged to push through France's unpoular pensions reform bill in 2023, Greens party head Marine Tondelier told RFI street protests were the only way to scupper the policy, which would raise the legal age of retirement from 62 to 65 years.
Calling on French citizens to show "unity and solidarity" during his televised New Year speech on Saturday, Macron told the country: "This year will indeed be that of a pension reform that aims to guarantee the equilibrium of our system in the years and decades to come. We have to work more.”
