Demonstrations continue across France against the adoption of controversial pension reform
President Emmanuel Macron will look to"calm things down" with a televised interview amid growing anger across France over his plans to raise the retirement age.
Macron, who made raising the retirement age a cornerstone of his re-election campaign last year, has so far refused publicly to enter the fray and made no comment on the uproar other than in closed-door meetings. Before breaking his silence, Macron spent most of Tuesday talking to ministers, advisors and other political heavyweights about the way forward but ruled out any radical concession.
