"There is no longer any reform" of pensions, estimated this Sunday the President of the Senate Gérard Larcher (LR) the day after the "compromise" proposed by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe to the social partners to remove the pivotal age of 64 years.
“Today, after the so-called compromise decision, there is no longer any reason for the strike because there is no longer any reform. We are going to have a point reform that is not even universal and ignorance about funding, ”denounced Gérard Larcher at the big Europe 1 / Les Echos / Cnews meeting .
The government's “original fault”
"Compromise is not abandonment, but we are not far from abandonment," added the President of the Senate. He regretted the “original fault” of the government, which decided “not to speak of the legal age” for retirement, which LR proposes to postpone to 65 years.
"Why did the French go from membership two and a half years ago to rejection? Because the government and the negotiators lied for two years, they made up the legal age. This country has 100 billion deficit per year. We would like to make us believe that it is a right reform? No ! ", Said the former Minister of Labor.
Right-wing voters need pivotal age
Right-wing voters “can no longer support a reform where there is no longer a pivotal age, which has forgotten the age parameter. The masks have fallen, ”he said. "I don't want to deceive future generations. I am to save the pay-as-you-go system and not to bring it to equilibrium, it will ultimately lead us to a totally unequal capitalization system. "
While the examination of the reform project must begin on February 17 in the National Assembly, Gérard Larcher wished "that at the time of the debate in the Senate at the end of April we will have the conclusions of the financing conference".
“There is no question that Parliament can debate without a real impact study. Can we seriously talk about 321 billion, 14% of GDP, without knowing the reality of the figures? There is a minimum of respect for Parliament and through Parliament for respect for the French, ”said the President of the Senate.
