INTERVIEW
The executive wanted a concerted agreement on its pension reform, it is badly engaged: after a first "warning shot" at the RATP, a massive mobilization of lawyers is expected Monday, while the government multiplies the talks with the unions to clear the ground. At the microphone of Europe 1, Jean-Paul Delevoye, High Commissioner for pension reform and delegate to the Minister of Health, who discussed Saturday at the Huma, with Philippe Martinez, General Secretary of CGT , wishes to reassure the French.

Jean-Paul Delevoye affirmed in particular his desire to "offer workers a social protection that protects them from the uncertainty of tomorrow", while saying to assume "a risk of redistribution". "The current system favors bottom-up and long-term careers, we are redistributing ourselves in the face of rugged, precarious and short careers, and we are also redistributing to women because today 20% of women are forced to work up to 67 years, "he says.
To appease fears
The high commissioner for pensions also spoke of the situation of some angry professions. "We are going to open a debate as early as next week, but those who have already 17 years of service or 27 years of service retain their right to early departures.This is the case for 50% of caregivers most of the agents of the RATP and the SNCF. "Fears can be alleviated, and worries answered," explains Jean-Paul Delevoye.
He also says he takes seriously the case of lawyers, who intend to demonstrate Monday. "The lawyers had mobilizing arguments, saying that we will double their contributions, weaken their practices, reduce the number of lawyers.But these arguments are wrong in their response.We have already, for many months, worked to ensure that their economic equilibrium is compatible with the implementation of the universal pension system, "he said, while meetings with lawyers' unions is planned.
