"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.
Women "are somewhat penalized by the postponement of the legal age, we absolutely do not disagree", assured the Minister for Relations with Parliament, Monday on Public Senate, because, he recalled "the quarters per child do not affect the postponement of the age, they affect the contribution period".
"Clearly, Macronie is in dire straits: 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.
At the PCF, "for equal diplomas, with equivalent experience, women earn less. They have gaping careers, imposed part-time jobs... 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.
"How so!? 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 the left-wing economist Thomas Porcher, still on the social network.
As in response to the avalanche of criticism, the spokesman 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.
