The French government announced the reform and retirement system on Tuesday (10th), including proposed that the legal retirement age has gradually increased from the current 62 -year -old to 64 years old. From 2027, employees will work for 43 years to receive a full pension.The draft reform will be submitted to Congress in the next few weeks and can be implemented after passing.The Eighth CPCCC will immediately announce the launch of national strike protests next Thursday (19th).The retirement age is considered a political problem that cannot be encountered in France. Macron has proposed reforms during the term of the two presidents. It can be described as a "political gambling". Several presidents had not achieved the full achievements due to the strong rebound of the union.
The government's proposal this time has some slight steps. Among them, the legal retirement age will gradually increase from the current 62 -year -old to 2030 to 64 years old, instead of Mark Long's 65 -year -old when he was re -elected last year.On the other hand, from 2027, the public will receive a full pension and will work for 43 years, which is about 41 years.In order to strive for support, reform recommendations have also proposed to increase the minimum pension amount, from 900 euros per month to 1,200 euros.Treasury Secretary Bruno Le Maire said at a press conference on Tuesday that the relevant reform will make the government's annual income of 17.7 billion euros by 2030.
Prime Minister said that deficit is inevitable to face reality
French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said at a press conference that he noticed that the reform of the pension system would cause the people to question and worry: "Today we propose a plan to balance the retirement system, a fair plan."She also pointed out that it is an irresponsible approach to the expected deficit of the retirement system without taking action. It will inevitably lead to a significant increase in tax increases and reduction of pensions, and pose a threat to the pension system.Borne called on the Trade Union and the opposition party to face reality, saying that the pension system that was paid by employees would be plagued by deficit with the aging of the population in the next decades.
The Eighth CPIC of France immediately issued a joint statement announced that it would launch a protest next Thursday to "start a powerful long -term pension movement."Agence France -Presse said that after 12 years, after the previous reform system, all unions were united to take action.The gentle French Democratic Trade Union Alliance (CFDT), the secretary -general Laurent Berger, said that this time it was one of the most cruel reforms since 30 years: "There is no reason to make such a cruel reform."
polls refer to 70%of the people's anti -reform
Macron's twice campaign presidents take the reform system as one of the main topics. He proposed the first reform plan in 2019, and was later opposed by the national strike.Proposed this year.Prior to Macron, the two former presidents of Hillary and Salcate also proposed a reform retirement system, but either failed or forced to make a significant concession.
The French people generally oppose this reform. The Financial Times yesterday (11th) quoted a poll that 70%of the people opposed the reform; Reuters reported on Tuesday that the investigation by the poll ODOXA showed that four -fifth French people opposed the increase of retirement retirement.age.
Demonstration of millions of people's congresses
Macron's intermediate alliance lost most of the status in the Congress last June. To pass the Draft Congress, the Republican Party (LR) is required to be supported. After the retirement age and minimum pension are concessions, the difficulty has been reduced.However, there are still great variables. In addition, the unity of unions across the country is now united. At any time, millions of people's congresses or "yellow vests" anti -government movements appear at any time, which has forced the government to withdraw the draft.In theory, Macron can use the "Article 49, paragraph 3 of the Constitution" to give the president to the power of the president without voting by Congress to force the reform.Re -election.
