In December 2019，the French government launched the pension system reform，planning to reform the current system created after the World War II，merging the 42 existing private and public sector regimes into one universal points-based system，so to make the current system more transparent，fairer and ensure its long-term financial sustainability. The reform was strongly opposed by related groups，and caused massive protests that blocked the public transport. Although the government was forced to withdraw a few items，Macron’s popularity still dropped. But as the two traditional big parties are in serious decline，and the far-right party led by Le Pen has some structural limits，the protests will not pose a fatal threat to Macron and his government.
