You left out the higher retirement age.
From 62 to 64, and they rioted. For comparison Canada retirement age is 65 and many is states is 67. Your statement implies that the French retirement age is an outlier and it's really not.
There's an army of institutions and economists who reviewed the issue over and over with 1 conclusion: there were many different solutions, raising the retirement age was ONE of them. So this was not necessary. This was a choice.
The system is a "simple" in/out equation. Twice in the past years this government has reduced the money in. Now they tell everyone they "saved" the system and there was no other solution. That's all BS.
And by the way: looks like they couldn't even do their math properly, because the system will still run a deficit by 2030. They counted some revenue twice. So much for "the experts"...
Rioting didn't help to stop that.
If you're talking about the recent policy, the protests did not fix that. The president ignored public opinion, the labor unions, and then ignored Parliament, who voted against the measure, and forced it through. It'll be interesting to see if that ends up permanent. If macron lasts longer than the new retirement age.
