Gradual raising of the legal retirement age to 64, measures for “long careers”, revaluation of the minimum pension… Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne presented, on Tuesday January 10, the measures of the executive to reform the pension system. This project arouses the hostility of the unions, which unanimously call for a day of mobilization on January 19, as well as that of the opposition parties, which consider this reform “unfair”.
