Paris, March 22, 2023 (AFP)
French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday said he wanted the government's controversial pension reform to come into force by the end of the year, insisting it was "necessary" despite nationwide protests.
While France's Constitutional Court still needs to give its last word, Macron said that the reform needed to "come into force by the end of the year".
"The longer we wait, the more it (the deficit) will deteriorate. This reform is necessary, it does not make me happy. I would have preferred not to do it," he added.
