Emmanuel Macron reiterated his desire to raise the retirement age to 65. Like every week, Adrien Rohard presents, on France 3, his column “Allô France” and gives the floor to the French.
The citizens of the day are Régine Florin, retired, grandmother of six grandchildren and president of an association. Virginia Begnis is a hairdresser in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes)and Andy makoko is a law student in Essonne. Are they for or against reform? The young student does not conceive “to have a job until as late as 64, 65, even 67″. Régine Florin, who works today “more than this [qu’elle] worked before” since she joined her association, is not necessarily against it. Unlike Virginia Begniswhich is for a reform, but against that proposed by Emmanuel Macron.
According to a survey YUGOV66% of French people say they are unfavorable to the reform project. What worries Virginia, who is her own boss and started working at 16, is the amount of her pension. Régine is not against leaving at 65. According to her, the reform will allow more flexibility, and will force companies to hire employees over 55 years old. At 21, Andy doesn’t know when he’ll be retiring, but he knows he doesn’t want to “work all [sa] life“.
