The strike in France entered its 29th day, making it the longest strike in the country's history since the 1986 strike, which did not exceed 28 days. After a speech in which French President Emmanuel
Macron defended his project to reform the pension systems, unions opposed to the reforms expressed their dissatisfaction with what was stated in the president's speech calling for Prime Minister Edouard Philippe to reach a "quick settlement" with the organizations and unions that wish to do so. Some unions have indicated their willingness to participate in the negotiations scheduled with the government on January 7.
