President Emmanuel Macron is addressing France for the first time since signing into law his controversial pension reform, facing warnings the political and social crisis it sparked is not over. Macron signed the legislation early Saturday, just hours after the banner change to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 had been validated by the constitutional court, prompting accusations he was smuggling the law through in the dead of night. Dr. Raphaël Liogier, French Sociologist, Philosopher and Professor at Sciences Po, speaks to FRANCE 24’s François Picard about Macron’s messaging, ahead of his first prime-time address since the enactment of his pension reform bill, in a bid to ease tensions and calm protests.
