France's Constitutional Council approves controversial pension age increase.

France's Constitutional Council has approved President Emmanuel Macron's plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, despite three months of mass protests. The decision has angered critics of the pension plan, who have vowed to maintain pressure on the government to withdraw the bill. Macron's office said he would enact the law in the coming days, and he has said he wants it implemented by the end of the year. The council rejected some measures in the pension bill, but the higher age was central to Macron’s plan and the target of protesters’ anger.
