Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has offered to withdrawal the proposal which would have raised the age at which workers can claim their pension from 62 to 64. The CFDT welcomes this but the CGT union however is still pushing for an end to the plans for pension reform. Looks like the French government resolve for pensions reforms is weakening.
 
I thought compromise to Macron is like the swear word Merde.

he took back the tax hike when the yellow jackets trashed Paris the first time.

Macron is a believer of the long game. If reaction is too strong he will retreat, allow propaganda and enemy mistakes do their work and then try again.

Has he tried again yet?
