PARIS - The French government said it would see through planned pension reforms but tried to assuage union anger with promises of a gradual introduction of the new system that has sparked nationwide strikes.
“I am determined to take this pension reform to its completion,” Prime Minister Edouard Philippe told Journal du Dimanche newspaper. Ahead of a meeting of ministers on Sunday afternoon, several cabinet members offered to soften the reforms. She said people’s pension rights would be calculated proportionally based on how much time they had worked under the new and old systems. The new system “will be rather positive for a significant part of French citizens,” she said.
