VOICED : Protesta en Francia contra reforma de pensiones presentada por el gobierno

In France, protests erupted against a proposed pension reform by President Macron, aiming to merge 42 pension regimes into a single point-based system. The reform, set for parliamentary debate, promises transparency and fairness, especially for women and low-income workers. However, unions oppose it, citing government ignorance of the current system. The government temporarily withdrew a controversial point to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, seeking union solutions for system balance. Protests have disrupted public transport for over 50 days, but the French Central Bank does not foresee economic impact, despite some businesses reporting revenue drops during Christmas.
