French President Emmanuel Macron moved to pass his controversial pension overhaul without a vote in the legislature

PARIS—French President Emmanuel Macron moved Saturday to pass his pension overhaul without a vote in the legislature, seeking to brush aside tens of thousands of amendments filed by opposition lawmakers to slow debate.
