what pension reform for Macron II?

The subject of pension reform has been in the air for a few months, with trial balloons launched by relatives of the Head of State. We heard that it would be “a good first reform of a second term“, or that the debate “will be decided by the presidential“.

This same circle of insiders assures today that “the pension reform is now arbitrated. But we haven’t put it on the table yet.” In other words: Emmanuel Macron knows exactly what changes he wants to make to the system, if he is reelected to the Elysée. All he has to do is say it.

We already know what this reform will not be. The Head of State wants to erase all the anxiety-provoking elements of the 2019 debates – he formulated it as such in the fall. So exit the new universal regime – which “pissed everyone off“explains a heavyweight.

Exit also the point system – “lannuities are an element of reinsurance” – and goodbye to the pivotal age. The idea remains of “move from the logic of status to that of individuals”. Emmanuel Macron has already mentioned three major regimes “roughly”, it can still be a little more, for “recognize the singularities of each one.

And there will obviously be an age measurement. Who will not fail to agitate the presidential debates, even to put people in the streets. Emmanuel Macron, he intends to sell his reform by saying that the crisis has redefined national solidarity.

This is the example taken by this minister:The lawyers were against the universal pension system, but applicants for the solidarity fund.” In Macronie, we evoke “the opportunity that the health crisis was, to move everyone’s positions.” The relationship to work that has changed. The idea also that no one is condemned to exercise a painful profession throughout his career. This means accompanying the abolition of special diets with more professional training, to help get out of the hardship. Emmanuel Macron will sell his reform in “projecting the political debate into that of the social model“.
