LIVE – Strike against pension reform: transport remains disrupted, many ports blocked

Many mobilizations against the pension reform will be held this Wednesday, March 8, on the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day. But does this reform really penalize them?

Yes, for Mathilde Panot, the president of the LFI group in the National Assembly: “It is a reform which, from start to finish, is against women’s rights.“Even on the side of LR, where we are more conciliatory vis-à-vis the text, we are worried about the demographic issue. “Women and their motherhood, this is the blind spot of the reform“, thus denounced the senator LR Jérôme Bascher on the antenna of Public Senate.

On the government side, the spokesperson for the executive, Olivier Véran, rejects the criticism. “I do not consider that women will be penalized“, he advanced, taking over from Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, who denounced a “bogus trial».

So who is telling the truth? According to our journalist, Marie-Cécile Renault, women will indeed have to work longer with this new pension reform. For the generation of 1980, the difference would go from simple to double between the men obliged to work 4 months more and the women 8 months. In return, the amount of pension for women will increase. It is also true that the bill provides several protective measures for women with broken or incomplete careers. They will thus be the main beneficiaries of the revaluation of small pensions to 85% of the net minimum wage.
