Emmanuel Macron said to himself on Wednesday evening “open” a postponement of the legal retirement age to 64, and not 65, as he had promised during the presidential campaign, in the event of an extension of the contribution period.
“If some [partenaires sociaux] are ready to commit and say ‘We don’t want to go until 65 but, in return, if you make this gesture, we are ready to work a few more quarters’, I am openhe assured.
