Expectations are growing that France is set to remove the right to retire at 60, as it embarks on a contentious reform of its debt-laden pension system and brings public finances back into line.
Christian Estrosi, industry minister, said on Sunday the government was leaning towards an increase in the [retirement] age in its talks with unions and employers federations, despite denials from cabinet ministers over the weekend of a decision being taken.
His comments are likely to give ammunition to unions planning a national strike on Thursday to protest against spending cuts and pension reforms.
