On the pension file, the convergences between the executive and the right reappear in the open. From Monday, November 7, the Senate examines the Social Security Financing Bill (PLFSS) for 2023 in this assembly in this assembly, elected officials from Les Républicains (LR) and Centrist Union (UC) groups should adopt An amendment to shift the age of rights to a pension from 62 to 64 years. A measure very close to that defended by Emmanuel Macron, as part of a reform which will be presented in early 2023, in principle.
The provision that will be debated at the Palais du Luxembourg is supported by René-Paul Savary, Senator LR de la Marne. It provides two steps. It is first of all instituted a “National Convention for the Employment of Seniors and the safeguarding of the pension system” in which personalities from various horizons (social partners, representatives of the State, family associations and retirees would participate in various horizons ( , experts). Its mission would be to formulate proposals in favor of the maintenance of the sixties and the financial rebalancing of the “old age branch (…) by 2033”.
If the members of the convention were unable to get along, the legislator would take over in order to modify several parameters. Among the displaced cursors, there would be the legal retirement age, which would therefore go from 62 to 64 years. The law of January 2014, called “Touraine law”, would also be put into force on a faster tempo than that set at the start: thus, the duration of contribution required for the full rate would be brought to forty-three years from the generation 1967 (instead of generation 1973).
a fall ritual
This initiative is by no means a surprise. “For the fourth year” consecutive, it takes up ideas that the elected officials on the right and the center-right at the Luxembourg Palace had tried to introduce through amendments to the PLFSS, as Gérard Larcher, the president (LR ) of the Senate, in an interview with the daily Le Parisien on Monday. “We consistently push the measures that seem necessary to us, the primary objective being to guarantee the purchasing power of pensions by restoring the financial viability of the pension system,” says Bruno Retailleau, the president of the LR group
On this theme, right -wing senators show unity, unlike their colleagues who sit in the National Assembly. Thus, Aurélien Pradié, deputy LR du Lot, advocates a system where pensions would be calculated according to the number of years worked, without retreating the starting age. For his part, Eric Ciotti, elected in the Alpes-Maritimes, militates for an “intermediary” solution in which people could choose between a departure at 65 years and an increase in the number of annuities required to be eligible for the full rate.
