From what I read they are blaming it on the lack of money to pay retirement and France would need to tax 2% of the 48 richest persons in France to fix that lack of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBhomemaker 5,611 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 As anything that this government did they will pass it anyway without any approval. Especially this law, Macron & co wont give up like a stubborn dog and his ball. They proved multiple times that they don't care about protests and damages Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
