Borne Plans to Meet Opposition and Unions Amid Pension Crisis

French Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne announced today that she intends to meet with leaders of the opposition and labor unions in hopes of ending the protests against the new pension law.

Borne's office stated that she will meet with leaders of political parties and aims to resume dialogue with unions on labor issues without mentioning the pension bill.
