French President adopts the pension reform, without the vote of the Parliament

The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, decided to adopt the pension reform by force, without it going through the vote of the Parliament. The decision to use the controversial constitutional clause was condemned by the French political opposition and trade unions, who said it was anti-democratic, reports Rador.

The appeal, which provides for the adoption of a measure without the need for a parliamentary vote, has sparked a wave of anger in the French public, with unionists threatening to intensify their protests.
