Elisabeth Borne will present Tuesday, January 10, around 5:30 p.m., the precise content of the pension reform project desired by Emmanuel Macron. During a press conference, the Prime Minister could, according to several interlocutors, propose a postponement of the legal retirement age to 64 years, after having considered 65 years.
But both workers and unions disapprove of this measure, promising a strong mobilization. More than two thirds of French people (68%) are against postponing the legal age, even at 64, according to an IFOP-Fiducial survey. “There will be no deal with the CFDT”, has already warned its secretary general, Laurent Berger, specifying: “We will do everything to make the government back down. For the boss of Force Ouvrière, Frédéric Souillot: “If Emmanuel Macron wants to make it his mother of reforms (…), for us it will be the mother of battles. »
After her press conference, Elisabeth Borne will be the guest of the “20 hours” of France 2, then she will answer questions from the public on the Franceinfo channel.
