LR deputy Gilles Carrez deplores Sunday a "lack of pedagogy" from the government on the upcoming pension reform, which he endorses the principle.
"This is a reform of great ambition, I support the desire to harmonize all pension plans, but I regret a lack of pedagogy.It is not explained to the French that if we want to maintain the financial equilibrium of the system, the retirement at 62 years without penalty, it's over ", explains in the Journal du Dimanche the former president of the Finance Committee of the Assembly.
"An agreement on the contribution period rather than the age"
The High Commissioner for pension reform Jean-Paul Delevoye had presented in mid-July a report calling for the establishment, from 2025, of a "universal system" of points pensions merging the 42 existing plans. He had recommended setting a "full rate" at the "pivotal" age of 64 for all, with a haircut / surtax system.
President Emmanuel Macron made the surprise on Monday saying he preferred "an agreement on the period of contribution rather than the age" of departure, while saying that "nothing" was "decided" at this stage. "An opening made in particular to the CFDT and (Laurent) Berger," confirmed Gerald Darmanin on RTL.
"The choice of the President is mainly tactical and linked to the concern to ensure the non-opposition of the CFDT", Gilles Carrez also judges: "But in both cases, we are in a system of bonus-malus: if you If you have not reached the pivot age or the required contribution period, you will be penalized with a penalty (...) The lengthening of the contribution period, it is more equitable for those who start working early, and more penalizing for those who are studying and entering the labor market later, it is a real debate. "
Philippe will receive the social partners
Edouard Philippe will launch Thursday and Friday in Matignon a new phase of consultation on the basis of the Delevoye report, receiving unions and employers. A process of "citizen consultation" must then be launched in the autumn.
"What I fear," says Mr. Carrez, "is that nothing happens in the next two or three years, and we find ourselves in 2022 with a very deficit diet. his time to build a magnificent reform of all, we should not fail to plug short-term breaches ".
