Protesters gather on the square of the Capitole de Toulouse during a demonstration after the court approved the key elements on French President s unpopular pension reform, in Toulouse, southwestern France, on April 14, 2023. AFP
The banner reform in the legislation to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 was validated by the Constitutional Council after almost three months of protests opposing the measure.
The court struck out six measures not seen as fundamental to the essence of the reform and threw out a request filed by the left for a referendum on an alternative pension law that would keep the retirement age at 62.
