The hypothesis of a pension reform in the next social security budget “is not entirely settled,” Olivier Dussopt said on Tuesday September 20, who considered it “normal that the government Keeps all the possibilities “, adding that the strategy” is not entirely clear “and is still” in the process of reflection and work “.
Despite the unanimous opposition of the unions, whom he met on Monday, the Minister of Labor confirmed on RTL that the track of a Reformation by an amendment to the social security budget “is one of the scenarios” envisaged by the executive.
ensuring that it wants to “avoid what is called a forceful passage”, he recalled, however, that “if we are blocked, if we are in a dead end, if there is no desire to support, we have tools in the Constitution “.
” More work “
The objective remains to “balance the retirement system”, threatened by the return of deficits, according to Mr. Dussopt, who mentioned a loss of “more than 12 billion” euros in 2027 and a “twenty billion” in 2030.
To remedy this, the idea of the decline in the legal starting age or the extension of the duration of contributions is privileged. “We could mix the two measures,” suggested the minister, evoking “possibly counterparts” on “the minimum pension level and the question of arduousness”.
For unions to “say what they want as improvements”, but “also how it is funded”, he stressed, repeating that this “goes through more work, to the Society scale (and) on the scale of a lifetime “.
