Yes. The minimum retirement age is going from 62 to 64 for most people, and from from 52 to 54 for cops. Although, and don't quote me on this, it appears that most cops keep working past 52 anyway so few cops would actually be inconvenienced by the reform.
Edit: They probably have a secret union exemption ready to go so that they're not affected at all.
The police here have a lot of political power and have even held demonstrations against proposed reforms or controls over them (at which demonstrations, btw, for anyone still under any delusions about the revolutionary nature of the PCF, the French Communist Party leader Roussel showed up at in their support.) Melechon also has a republican streak, which ends up reactionary in the French context, aside from all his other issues).
Are the police's pensions affected by this?
