    From 62 to 64, and they rioted. For comparison Canada retirement age is 65 and many is states is 67. Your statement implies that the French retirement age is an outlier and it’s really not.

      Macro saved France with that, he can’t run again anyway so he will now push policys that are “against the public opinion” but necessary.

        There’s an army of institutions and economists who reviewed the issue over and over with 1 conclusion: there were many different solutions, raising the retirement age was ONE of them. So this was not necessary. This was a choice.

        The system is a “simple” in/out equation. Twice in the past years this government has reduced the money in. Now they tell everyone they “saved” the system and there was no other solution. That’s all BS.

        And by the way: looks like they couldn’t even do their math properly, because the system will still run a deficit by 2030. They counted some revenue twice. So much for “the experts”…
