Before his government defends the pension reform in the Assembly, the president motivates the ministers.
Emmanuel Macron insisted on Wednesday on the "indispensable and vital" nature of the pension reform to "preserve" the system, government spokesman Olivier Véran reported at a press conference.
The Head of State "insisted on all the social advances" and called on the ministers to "mobilize" to "explain to the French very concretely" what "is going to change for them".
After three months of procrastination and consultations, the executive confirmed the expected increase in the legal retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030 during the presentation of the reform by Prime Minister Elisabeth Terminal, Tuesday.
The executive does not expect "a massive mobilization"
While the unions have unanimously rejected the project and are calling for demonstrations from January 19, the government “does not plan on the idea of massive mobilization” in the face of its pension reform project, assured Olivier Véran on Wednesday.
"We have come out of the consultation phase and we are entering the phase of explanation, information, discussion with the French to explain, re-explain why it is fundamental that we carry out this pension reform", a developed the former Minister of Health.
The presentation of the pension reform bill is scheduled for January 23 in the Council of Ministers.
Two days before, the Insoumis will have already planned a "walk for pensions" in Paris.
