Скачать или смотреть Macron’s pension reform: Necessary changes to an unsustainable system?

The president and the prime minister have been taking turns defending the pension reform plans
in media interviews, saying they are urgently needed to salvage a failing system.“If we don’t
enact these reforms, the current system is in danger,” Macron told TF1 in early December.
Macron even used his traditional New Year’s Eve address to say the measures must be enacted
to make sure France’s pension system is financially viable for “decades to come”. The
centrepiece of the legislation will be raising the retirement age from 62 to as late as 65 or
face having monthly payouts curtailed – a proposal that both the political opposition and
unions find particularly galling, and which has led to widespread protests and strikes.
