French Prime Minister to Submit Pension Legislation in Autumn
The French Prime Minister is planning to make new laws about pensions soon.
He's been talking with unions and employers, and they've agreed on some things, like making sure the pension system has enough money.
They also agreed not to change a recent law that makes people retire a bit later.
Some people are unhappy with these plans and might try to stop them.
The Prime Minister is also working on budget cuts and could face votes to remove him from his position.
French Prime Minister Bayrou will introduce pension legislation in the autumn.
The legislation follows agreements made between unions and employers after months of talks.
Discussions involved the pension system breaking even by the decade's end and the retirement age increase.
Bayrou faces potential no-confidence votes over the pension plans.
Opposition parties have sought to reverse the 2023 pension reform.
