The president also wanted this reform to be applied “from the end of the summer”.
Emmanuel Macron confirmed on Saturday, during his New Year’s greetings, his intention to quickly launch the reform of the pension system, with a view to application “from the end of the summer”.
“As I pledged to you, this year will indeed be that of a pension reform which aims to ensure the balance of our system for the years and decades to come”, and to “consolidate our pay-as-you-go pensions,” he said.
The reform presented on January 10
The government must present its reform on January 10. Emmanuel Macron advocated postponing the legal retirement age to 65 during his presidential campaign, before saying he was open, between the two rounds of the election and then this fall, to a solution combining a lesser postponement of the legal age to an extension of the contribution period.
