PARIS: President Emmanuel Macron aims to reform France’s pension system by the summer of 2023, he told French news outlets in his first extended interview since his re-election in April. Macron, who planned to reform the retirement system in 2020, had to postpone the change when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Macron said he was “outraged” by the disorder around the stadium and backed compensation to families that could not reach their seats. Macron said there wouldn’t be any risk of power cuts next winter despite the shutdown of several nuclear reactors. Macron did not rule out travelling to Ukraine, where he hasn’t been since Russia’s military invaded in late February.
