PM offers to meet opposition amid crisis

French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said on Sunday that she would meet opposition leaders early next month and was open to talks with unions, after weeks of protests against pensions reforms. She also said she would not make further use of the controversial mechanism that allowed her to force through the reforms without a parliamentary vote, outside budget matters. Borne made the remarks ahead of another day of action on Tuesday organized by unions to protest the pensions reforms, which include raising the retirement age from 62 to 64.
