Last Thursday, the executive used article 49.3 while the unions, the opposition, and especially the French, remain mostly opposed to the pension reform. In order to avoid the planned vote in the National Assembly and despite the support of the Senate, Elisabeth Borne has thus engaged the responsibility of her government for the adoption of this pension reform. While the two motions of censure were rejected and, despite social mobilization which does not weaken, the pension reform is therefore adopted. But who are the winners of the final text today?
The French remain opposed to the pension reform and the forced adoption of the text does not change anything in this massive rejection of the law. While social mobilization is now daily, the two motions of censure were finally rejected on Monday, which confirms the position of the current government. However, this highly controversial text continues to spark debate and many French people still hope that the reform can be withdrawn. Between real losers and a handful of winners, how will this reform have an impact on the retirement of the French?
The final text of the reform provides for the postponement of the legal retirement age from 62 to 64 and confirms all generations born from September 1961 as the big losers of retirement. The increase is thus planned at the rate of three months per generation. According to the estimates of the High Council of Public Finances, around 50,000 people could therefore postpone their departure. The special regimes, the vast majority of which have been abolished, are also among the main victims of this reform. Discover, in our slideshow, which are, on the contrary, the real winners of the final text.
