Find here all of our live #RETIREMENTS
1:51 p.m. : Hello @Dave58, the demonstration in Paris against the pension reform will be held in the southern part of the capital. The procession will leave at 2 p.m. from Place d’Italie to arrive around 7 p.m. at Place Vauban. To help you, France 3 Ile-de-France has produced the map below.
1:52 p.m. : Hello FI. Do we know the course of the demonstrations in Paris tomorrow? (For an Irish tourist who would like to avoid them if possible). Thanks.
1:05 p.m. : Hello, like today, workers with disabilities (see recognition conditions here) will be able to retire from the age of 55, if the government’s plan is adopted. The executive even provides for a small relaxation: currently, it is necessary to validate an effective contribution period (112 quarters for a person born in 1973) within a total number of validated quarters (132 quarters, including quarters in stop- illness or unemployment). Tomorrow, it will only be necessary to fulfill the first condition.
12:56 : Hello dear FTVI, I am writing to you because I cannot find the information anywhere. I am a disabled worker. Will we have to validate more quarters, is the starting age also postponed? Do you have any info? Personally, I’m almost 50 years old, I’ve always wanted to work like a valid person but I’m at my wit’s end. I want to preserve my end of life with a decent pension… Thank you!
12:16 p.m. : Hello @cyclo_ecolo, we speak precisely, in the current case, of “parametric” reform, because the bill consists of a modification of parameters (legal retirement age, contribution period, etc.) of the pension system. In the case of the previous text, defended in 2019 and buried in 2020, it was a “systemic” reform, due to a change in the nature of the system as a whole, with the transition to a universal points system .
12:15 p.m. : Hello Thibaud. Can you explain to me why everyone uses the word “reform” to speak of a rectification of the financing of social security? We are only talking about changes in duration, ages, contribution rates… Not a change in model which, like retirement by points, would justify the term “reform”!
12:05 : It’s 12:05 p.m., it’s time to take stock of the news of this Monday at midday:

10:43 am : “When young people take to the streets, there is a ripple effect of the population.”
On the eve of a second day of mobilization against the pension reform, sociologist Vincent Tiberj recalls that “the last time a social movement prevented a reform from passing, it was the CPE” in 2006. The new generation, which is certainly not “not strongly connected to high school and student unions”, “has the possibility of mobilizing in a very broad way using social networks, petitions and close activism”he notes on France Inter.
10:29 : Against the pension reform, the high school organizations have called for mobilization today as well as tomorrow, a day of inter-union demonstration against the pension reform. In some high schools, blockades are already being prepared, led by students “possibly dead before retirement at work”they explain in this article.
10:09 : The boss of the CFDT also responded to Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who vilified the billionaires “responsible for the misfortune of others”. “It is not the question of stigmatizing this or that”judged the union official, for whom the “debate around billionaires” is not “interesting”.

And while Elisabeth Borne reaffirmed yesterday on franceinfo that the postponement of the legal age of departure to 64 was not “more negotiable”Laurent Berger believes that “the Prime Minister cannot remain deaf to this tremendous mobilization that has been created”.

We return in this article to the main proposals of the left and the unions, with each of the advantages and disadvantages.
