The postponement of the retirement age from 62 to 64, contested by the unions and most of the opposition, “is no longer negotiable”, said Elisabeth Borne on Sunday, on the eve of the start of the examination of the project in committee at the Assembly.

“It is necessary to ensure the balance of the system”

“It is no longer negotiable, retirement at 64 and the acceleration (of the extension of the contribution period, editor’s note) of the Touraine reform”, affirmed on franceinfo the Prime Minister: “It is the compromise that we proposed after having heard the employers’ organizations and trade unions, after having exchanged with the various parliamentary groups (…) It is necessary to ensure the balance of the system”.

“If we had only one parameter, then it wouldn’t be 43 years of contribution and 64 years to be able to retire, it could be 45 years of contribution period, which seems impossible to us to ask the French “, she pleads in this interview carried out on Saturday, on the sidelines of a trip to the Calvados constituency of which she was elected deputy.

Discussions still possible on women’s careers

The head of government, on the other hand, is open to a discussion in Parliament on better use of the “education” and “maternity” terms obtained by women during their careers. “As of today, there are many women who cannot use them to the full, we are analyzing the situation of these women who (…) may not use them to the full tomorrow, so this analysis is in progress.

The deputies seized Monday in committee of the highly disputed pension reform project, for a trial run on 7,000 amendments, under the eye of opponents who organized a high point of mobilization in the street on Tuesday. In an interview with Le Parisien on Saturday, the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin denounces “the deep contempt for the value of work” of part of the left, which he accuses of seeking “to mess up the country”.
