Bruno Le Maire, Minister of the Economy, estimated on Monday July 13 on RTL that the pension reform was “Absolutely essential”, when the social partners refuse to put it back on the table immediately.
“I think it is necessary to go through with this pension reform. We can see first of all that there is a deficit, we can see that we are all living longer, we can see that collectively we have to work more and that this is a condition for France’s recovery. “
Prime Minister Jean Castex has displayed his determination to deal in particular with the subject of the deficit in the current system, while the reform of the system, and therefore of the special regimes, will take place in a second phase.
“Method of dialogue, of listening”
According to a provisional estimate by the Pensions Guidance Council (COR), the deficit should approach this year the record level of 30 billion euros, very far from the 4 billion expected before the crisis.
“The Prime Minister’s method is a method of dialogue, of listening. We said it would not be the same reform that would be put back on the table, said the Minister of Economy. We are talking about listening to each other and finding solutions to finance our pension plan. “
