The left is celebrating.

Fiercely opposed to the government's pension bill, she warmly applauded a statement by Franck Riester.

Women "are somewhat penalized by the postponement of the legal age, we absolutely do not disagree with this", thus agreed the Minister for Relations with Parliament on Monday on Public Senate, because, he recalled, "the quarters per child do not affect the postponement of the age, they affect the contribution period".

What cause a shower of comments on the left of the political spectrum.

“Even the government ends up recognizing that women will be 'penalized' by postponing the legal age.

The more the days pass, the more everything demonstrates the injustice of this project, ”tweeted the first secretary of the PS, Olivier Faure.

"Clearly, Macronie is desperate: listen to it, we couldn't have said it better," exclaimed LFI MEP Manon Aubry.

“If it is a government minister who says so …”, added the former socialist minister Guillaume Garot on the social network.

The majority persists

At the PCF, “with equal diploma, with equivalent experience, women earn less.

They have gaping careers, imposed part-times... They therefore have lower retirement pensions.

And if this reform passes, they will have to work longer… All the time penalized ”, judged for her part the regional councilor Céline Malaisé.

" What !

?

Women who have more choppy careers and lower salaries than men risk losing out with the increase in the necessary contribution period and the postponement of the retirement age, what a surprise !!", vilified left-wing economist Thomas Porcher, still on the social network.

As in response to the avalanche of criticism, the spokesperson for Renaissance Loïc Signor estimated that the opponents of the reform carried out by the government, which in particular postpones the retirement age by two years "do not want to correct the current system… And yet it widens the pension gap between men and women”.

“Our reform will finally reduce them.

We assume it.

And we are even proud of it!

“, he tweeted.
