Opposition group LIOT on Thursday withdrew its bill in parliament in Paris, which would reverse the gradual increase in the retirement age from 64 to 62.

Nothing was left of the actual draft after the presidential camp scrapped the crucial article in committee last week, group leader Bertrand Pancher said. That’s why you didn’t want to make a fool of yourself and still continue the debate.

The reform will take effect on September 1 and was decided in mid-April. The government pushed them through parliament without a vote. There, the presidential camp has not had an absolute majority for a year and the support of the conservative Républicains, who were initially thought to be safe, is crumbling. There were 14 nationwide protests against the reform, most recently on Tuesday this week. The government justified the increase in the retirement age with an imminent gap in the pension fund. The employees who pay at the cash register have to deal with a growing number of retirees.
