A retired woman with a placard reading 'Retired and more than ever supporter' in front of the Toulouse Business School. France's labour unions and left parties led a 8th wave of nationwide protests against President Emmanuel Macron's plans to make the French work longer before retirement. More than 30,000 people protested in Toulouses in one of the biggest protest in years. They took to the streets against the planned reform of pension and retirement age to 64 from 62, a move opinion polls show is opposed by a vast majority (93%) of workers already facing a cost-of-living crisis. Polls indicate also that more 60% of the French people support the strikes and protests. 74% say it will be unacceptable if the government use the article 49.3 which states that the law is accepted without vote by the Parliament). The retirement age would be raised to 64 years (for 43 years of continued work) and the pensions will be lower specially for women, 'short careers' and low wages people. The COR (Counsel of Pension Guidance), which depends of the Prime minister Office directly, said on September 2022 in its latest report that it sees no needs to reform the pension system as it shares in the French GDP will remain steady at least 2070.

A protester holds a placard reading "I want to live!" More than 60,000 people (80,000 according to the unions) are taking to the streets in Toulouse for the second time in two weeks to protest against the planned reform of pensions and retirement age. France's labour unions have jointly called for a new day of major strike action and protests across France against plans by President Emmanuel Macron's government to reform the pension system and raise the retirement age to 64 from 62, a move which opinion polls show is opposed by a vast majority (93%) of workers already facing a cost-of-living crisis. Nearly all sectors of unions have called for this strike and protest: mining and energy, health, schooling, transportation, truck drivers, refining workers, bank workers, etc. The retirement age would be raised to 64 years (for 43 years of continued work) and pensions would be lower, especially for women, people with 'short careers' and those on low wages. The COR (Counsel of Pension Guidance), which is directly dependent on the Prime Minister's Office, said in its latest report on September 2022 that it sees no need to reform the pension system as its share in the French GDP will remain steady at least until 2070.
