Wanting a “simple, fair, readable” reform, the president of the Renaissance deputies, Aurore Bergé, pleaded on Sunday to “hold on” to a postponement of the legal retirement age from 62 to 65 years old.
"What I want is that we no longer need to talk about a new pension reform every five years," said the MP for Yvelines on France 3, as part of the future reform whose details are still under arbitration.
"So I think we have to stick to the fact that we have to go up to 65 years old" which is "the solution so that we finally have a reform that is simple, fair, readable", he said. she insists.
According to the elected official, such a measure "only works if we have new rights", that is to say by taking into account "the question of long careers, hardship, women (…), the minimum of retirement ".
“65 years old yes (…) but in social justice”, she justified.
Consultation with the social partners
Emmanuel Macron had defended during the presidential campaign a postponement of the legal age from 62 to 65, before evoking once re-elected a decline to 64, coupled with an increase in the contribution period.
These points are currently the subject of consultation between the government and the social partners, and must be decided by December 15.
A bill will then be presented in January, before a review in Parliament.
With a simple majority relative to the Assembly, will the executive be able to do without 49.3, which allows a text to be adopted without a vote?
“We will do everything for”, assured Aurore Bergé.
“To the left, who don't want us to make a deal with the right, to help us move forward on social justice issues.
And on the right to assume to vote it with us, since it is a reform that they considered necessary, ”she further defended.
“All the arbitrations have not yet been made”
For his part, President LR of the Senate Gérard Larcher insisted on "two very important points": "employment of seniors", with "investment plans in training" because "today we no longer invest after 50 or 55 years old”, as well as “recognition of long careers”.

In an interview with Le Parisien, the Prime Minister, Élisabeth Borne, clarified that "all the arbitrations have not yet been made" around the bill.
“The gradual increase in the retirement age from 62 to 65 by 2031 is what will bring the system back to balance within ten years.
But if there is another path proposed by the trade unions and employers' organizations which makes it possible to achieve the same result, we will study it.
We can talk,” she said.
