“Abandon the pension reform project”
The left-wing senators have a “tacit agreement” with their counterparts in the Luxembourg Palace that article 7 of the pension reform -which sets the postponement of the legal retirement age at 64, compared to the current 62- not be studied before the next union intermobilization, scheduled for March 7.
That day, the unions threaten to shut down France. On this occasion, it will be important to “show our determination at the national level” to “set aside the pension reform project,” Philippe Martínez explained Thursday.
