### France's Government in Flux: Prime Minister Eyes Pension Revisions

Prime Minister François Bayrou signals willingness to revisit controversial retirement law amidst parliamentary disarray.


Amid a backdrop of mass protests and political instability, French Prime Minister François Bayrou has opened the door to revising the contentious pension law that raised the retirement age to 64, a move initially championed by President Emmanuel Macron in pursuit of fiscal stability.

In a daring speech to the National Assembly, Bayrou acknowledged the widespread dissatisfaction with the 2023 retirement reform that sparked significant street demonstrations. His remarks come as his newly appointed government strives for parliamentary support, following the dismissal of former Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s administration due to a lack of consensus on the 2025 budget.

With no clear majority in the Assembly, where factions range from the left to the far right, Bayrou's government is precariously positioned. His overture to potentially alter the pension law seems aimed at stabilizing his administration by rallying legislative backing during a time of uncertainty.
