April 28 (Reuters) - Global credit ratings agency Fitch downgraded France's sovereign credit rating on Friday by one notch to 'AA-' from 'AA', citing a potential deadlock and social movements posing a risk to President Emmanuel Macron's reform agenda. "Social and political pressures illustrated by the protests against the pension reform will complicate fiscal consolidation," the agency said.


France's outlook was changed to stable from negative.
