Both Denmark and France are socialist-leaning countries. I didn't think the gov't would get away with increasing the retirement age.
Right-wing parties have been winning in EU of late, often fueled by anti-Muslim boogymanning, perhaps borrowing rhetoric from our Tinted One by exaggerating and highlighting crime or terrorist events*. I wonder when the anti-Muslim fervor eventually dies down if the leftist parties will adjust the retirement age back down.
* EU desperately need immigrants to keep their population from declining too quickly. They should help Muslims assimilate instead of demonizing them by cherry-picking events.
