One month from now, France will finally be able to put a pin in one of the biggest controversies the country has faced of late. That is, French President Emmanuel Macron’s attempt to eliminate the country’s 42 pension schemes and merge them into one. The Lower House of Parliament is expected to vote on the issue in mid-March; and if it passes, the transition will occur in the summer.
Macron’s three years in office have quickly become known as some of the most turbulent and transitional years in any of France’s recent Presidential tenures. Much of it stems from his major overhauling of the country’s labor and financial systems — all actions that have received massive responses from his citizenship.
