"What's the issue with pensions? The French and Spanish governments are making changes to pension systems. France is raising the retirement age, and Spain plans to increase contributions from younger higher earners to support older retirees.

Pensions are money workers set aside from their wages for a comfortable retirement. The governments argue that factors like an aging population, longer life expectancy, and the cost to public funds make reforms necessary. However, critics say the changes hurt workers.

In France, there's resistance to raising the retirement age. Many believe it's a hard-earned right and part of a larger trend of reducing social benefits. The debate continues on how to balance pension sustainability with workers' rights."
