A right to inventory his five-year term and possible future reforms … Guest of TF1 Wednesday, December 15, Emmanuel Macron tried to settle the past in order to better project himself on the months to come and on the presidential campaign. If he has not yet announced his candidacy for his own succession, the President of the Republic has detailed his ambition for a pension reform, a first version of which had aroused social anger before being put on hold by the pandemic .
“This reform [des retraites] is essential. If there had not been the epidemic at the beginning of 2020, this reform would have come to an end, of course. (…) But I do not think that we should make the same reform as envisaged “, at launched Emmanuel Macron. In a speech given on November 9, he had already estimated that “conditions [n’étaient] not met “ to relaunch the work of this reform, de facto postponed to 2022, at the start of a possible second five-year term.
It is clear that we will have to work longer (…) the situation has changed “, noted Emmanuel Macron, without specifying the minimum retirement age. “The second thing is that we must adapt this working life to the difficulties of certain tasks and we must undoubtedly rethink what the work of seniors is.”
“We must simplify our rules, move towards an exit from special regimes, (…) with roughly three major regimes”, he continued, burying his initial idea of a universal diet, “too anxiety-provoking”, he recognizes today. “We need to move towards a simplified system” with “roughly three major regimes”, for the public service, for private sector employees and for the self-employed, he explained.
