The government must find at least 20 billion euros in savings for the 2025 budget. Among the most effective budget cuts, there is the possibility of not increasing pensions in line with inflation at the start of 2025.
The revaluation of pensions has already been tested on several occasions, notably in 2014, 2016 or 2019. If we index on inflation minus one point, we make a saving of 3 billion euros, it's automatic. The problem is that there are European elections in three months, and the government does not want to anger a category of the population that votes a lot.
