Le Pen calls on French PM to resign

"The French right-wing National Rally party said that it intends to file a no-confidence motion against the government, after President Emmanuel Macron opted to push through controversial pension reform without a parliamentary vote.

Party leader Marine Le Pen also called on Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne to leave her post.

The reform, which would see France change its retirement age to 64 from 62 and which would require workers to contribute to the system for 43 years before receiving a full pension, has proven deeply unpopular, and has triggered weeks of protests and strikes across the country." RT
