Pension reform: Emmanuel Macron defends his bill at the Rungis market

On the morning of Tuesday February 21, Emmanuel Macron came to the Rungis market (Val-de-Marne) to talk to workers who get up early. Barely a few minutes after his arrival, it was on the retreats that the president of the Republic was arrested. Here, the arduousness is daily and the current long careers, then the pension reform worries.

“We have fewer assets than 20 years ago”

For the Head of State, the legal retirement age must be pushed back. A choice justified again in front of the employees of Rungis. “We have fewer workers than 20 years ago, we have more retirees and we live longer, so it’s not true to say that we can keep the same ages, it doesn’t work. “, did he declare. Emmanuel Macron will probably have to redo pedagogy during another walkabout, since he should survey the aisles of the Agricultural Show on Saturday February 25.
