France’s retirement age will increase from 62 to 64 despite broad and violent protests against the measure, which was pushed by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Macron signed the controversial bill into law Saturday after France’s high court approved the increase on Friday. The government plans to implement the bill by September.
The bill has been met with massive protests from the French people, including a multi-union general strike and violence that shut down city centers around the country for multiple weeks.
