Macron's leadership in jeopardy over controversial pension reform plan.

TL;DR Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron faces pressure from both parliament and the streets as protests against his pension reform bill continue. Macron's decision to use special authority to pass the bill without a vote has angered the opposition and alienated citizens. Macron's political opponents have filed two no-confidence motions against the government, with a vote set for Monday. If the motion passes, the pension bill would be rejected, and Macron's Cabinet would have to resign, weakening his ability to pass legislation. Macron hopes to propose new measures to bring France's unemployment rate down to 5% by the end of his second term.
