Invited to France 2, Emmanuel Macron announced that he was not closed to the idea of pushing back the retirement age to 64, and no longer to 65.
But in return, the Head of State wants an extension of the contribution period.
Emmanuel Macron declared himself "open" to a postponement of the legal retirement age to 64, and not 65 as he had promised during the presidential campaign, in the event of an extension of the contribution period.
"If some (social partners, editor's note) are ready to commit and say: we don't want to go until 64, but in return, if you make this gesture, we are ready to work a little more quarters - because there are other ways of doing things, it's not just the legal age, it's working a few more quarters - I'm open.
The whole thing is that our model is back on its feet, if I may say so, and that we, active people, are financing the retirement of our retirees well, "said the head of state on France 2.
