FollowFrance Pension Reform Protests Timeline
Parliament suspended the reform timetable and the 2026 law fixed new dates
Key takeaways
- The 2023 pension fight became more than a retirement-age dispute once the government relied on Article 49.3, turning the reform into a test of executive legitimacy and parliamentary consent.
- Although the law survived in 2023, the issue stayed politically alive in 2025-2026 through audit warnings, failed social dialogue, repeal pressure and a later suspension of the reform timetable.
- The coverage also shows that the story was about protest policing and democratic safeguards, not only budget arithmetic and retirement rules.
