In a heated political climate, the French National Assembly is witnessing a fierce debate over the retirement age reform.

The Rassemblement National (RN) party's proposal to revert the retirement age from 64 to 62 has been met with significant opposition.

The proposal, part of RN's parliamentary agenda, was largely dismantled in the social affairs committee, with key amendments deemed inadmissible by Assembly President Yaël Braun-Pivet due to financial implications.

Despite this setback, RN remains determined to push the proposal forward, highlighting the political tensions surrounding the issue.

Meanwhile, the government defends the current reform as necessary for economic stability, while critics argue it burdens the public.

The debate underscores the broader struggle over fiscal responsibility and social welfare in France.
