The pension reform that the government must present on Tuesday “will be done with Les Républicains or it will not be done”, said Friday the leader of the LR deputies Olivier Marleix, who again laid down his conditions during an interview with the Prime Minister.
The reform will only pass with the support of LR or it will not pass. I hope that she (Elisabeth Borne) has heard our messages, in particular on the improvement of small pensions and the absence of brutality in (its) implementation, summarized the deputy LR of Eure-et-Loir l result of an interview lasting almost an hour with the head of government.
The government being deprived of an absolute majority in the Assembly, LR holds the key to the vote for the adoption of this reform without going through Article 49.3.
He reported feeling the head of government rather concerned about the terms of an agreement with LR.
Mr. Marleix pleaded for an additional quarter of contributions per year in order to reach a legal starting age of 63 at the end of Emmanuel Macron’s term of office in 2027, then 64 at the end of the following term.
Considering it indignant that too many French people who have full careers live with unacceptable pension levels, the deputy also wanted the increase envisaged in small pensions of 1,200 euros not to be reserved for future entrants but also for current retirees, evoking a amendment on this point.
The reform is not there to finance the ecological transition but to finance the retirement of the most modest French people, he insisted.

On special diets, he asked that an effort comparable to others (be) required of those who are today on special diets.
On long careers, he judged that at some point, duration must prevail over age.
Finally, he indicated that his group would present an amendment so that, halfway through the reform, we should take stock of the employment of seniors.
