The French government survived two no-confidence votes Monday in the lower chamber of parliament, prompted by a push by President Emmanuel Macron last week to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without giving lawmakers a vote. With the failure of both votes Monday, the pension bill is considered adopted. The first motion, by the centrists, garnered 278 votes, falling nine votes short of the 287 needed to pass. The far-right initiative won just 94 votes. Strikes will continue, which will be a significant challenge to Macron's authority, with unions and opposition parties saying they would step up protests to try and force a U-turn.
