French president says he would consider changing controversial reform ahead of second-round poll
Emmanuel Macron has indicated he could compromise on his heavily contested proposal to raise France’s retirement age by three years to 65, in an attempt to court voters ahead of the decisive second-round presidential election.
The president, who faces a tough campaign for a second term against the far-right leader Marine Le Pen, announced he would consider adjusting the timing and age of the controversial pension reform.
