He also said he would push ahead with planned reforms of the pension system and unemployment benefits next year. “The reform agenda is not jeopardized, it would have been stalled had French society been durably blocked,” the source close to Macron said. “The German political system will look into this more thoroughly than a few columns done in the heat of the moment.”
