PARIS—France’s embattled president, Emmanuel Macron, vowed to press on with his reform agenda in 2019, despite the spate of “yellow vest” protests that have challenged his government and extended a plunge in his approval ratings.
Promised overhauls of France’s unemployment benefits, civil service, and public pensions will be undertaken in the coming year, Macron said on Dec. 31 in his televised New Year message.
