The President of the Republic ruled on the suspension of the pension reform this Tuesday, October 21. He emphasizes that this is not a “repeal” but rather a “turn.”
Emmanuel Macron declared that the suspension of the pension reform was more of a “delay” of the reform’s deadline than its “repeal”, during a trip to Slovenia, this Tuesday, October 21.
“It is neither a repeal nor a suspension, it is the displacement of a term, which is the next term, that of 63 years on January 1, 2027, which was postponed to January 1, 2028 with financing through savings,” he declared.
“A necessary reform”
Sébastien Lecornu “did it out of appeasement,” he added, stressing that “the reform voted on was a necessary reform for the country.”
Emmanuel Macron also stated that “prospects for a referendum are possible” to reform pensions, but this presupposes that an “agreement” on the contours of the system is first “sealed.”
