The French political landscape is heating up as the Rassemblement National (RN) proposes to roll back recent retirement reforms.

The party aims to restore the retirement age to 62 with 42 years of contributions, challenging the current reforms that set the age at 64. This move has sparked a debate among political parties, with the left-wing coalition, Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP), divided on whether to support the RN's proposal.

While some leftist leaders argue against aligning with the RN, others see the abrogation as a necessary step to protect workers' rights.

Meanwhile, the La France Insoumise (LFI) plans to introduce its own proposal in November, further complicating the political dynamics.

The RN's initiative is seen as a strategic move to pressure the left and differentiate itself from President Macron's administration, led by Prime Minister Michel Barnier.
