TL;DR Summary

French President Emmanuel Macron survived two no-confidence votes over an unpopular pension reform that sparked protests across France. Macron will address the nation Wednesday to "outline what happens now" that the legislation is considered adopted. The pensions bill pushed by Macron would raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. The protests have bled into major industries, including refineries, trash collection, and railways. The bill still faces a review by the Constitutional Council before it can be formally signed into law.
