sent by Fiore since 10 hours 9 minutes, published about 2 hours 15 minutes
In the past 30 years, only one French president has failed to win a second term. In 1981 Valery Giscard d'Estaing was defeated by Francois Mitterrand, who went on to grant the French one of the lowest retirement ages in Europe. The decision to wind back this popular reform - to lift the retirement age from 60 to 62 - is likely to become the issue that makes or breaks Mr Sarkozy.
