The government presents this Tuesday afternoon its pension reform.
If the reform is particularly decried for wanting to push back the legal retirement age, the executive should also propose to revalue the minimum pension to 1,200 euros.
If this measure is intended for new retirees, the two million French people already in this situation could also be affected.
The measure is almost eclipsed by the postponement of the retirement age to 64 or 65 years.
And yet, the pension reform wanted by the government should propose the revaluation of the minimum pension, up to 1,200 euros per month in the event of a full career, for a private employee, taking into account his supplementary pension.

With this measure, his retirement will thus increase from 75 to 85% of the amount of the net Smic, as detailed by Elisabeth Borne last week.
For the moment, only new retirees will be affected by this revaluation.
But the track of an enlargement to the rest of retirees receiving less than 1,000 euros in retirement, despite a full career, is making its way.
A cost of 3 billion euros?
Because in France, there are currently nearly two million people receiving a pension of less than 1,000 euros gross per month.
Among them, many women, farmers, self-employed or craftsmen.
As it stands, this measure would cost around 1 billion euros per year, according to several estimates.
But it would be triple if ever the executive were to extend this measure to all current retirees, which was a campaign promise from Emmanuel Macron less than a year ago.
