CHRONIQUE. That the future of pension reform and that of the government depend on the goodwill of a few social partners says a lot about the crisis of politicians, explains Françoise Fressoz, editorialist at the "World".
The "conclave" on pensions launched by François Bayrou five months ago is supposed to end this Tuesday, 17 June. If there should be no agreement between the social partners remaining around the table on the starting age set at 64 years since 2023, other points can be the subject of consensus. In any case, the head of government believes in an agreement, which would, in his mind, be synonymous with respite and avoid the threat of censorship.
The Conclave on the reform of pensions launched by François Bayrou is coming to an end. The last meeting between social and employers' organisations will take place on Tuesday 17 June. The social partners are still blocking on a few points.
The social partners must reach an agreement by Tuesday night to make the 2023 pension reform fairer, but without aggravating the financial situation of the scheme.
The end of the conclave, originally scheduled for 28 May, is approaching but a few more days may be needed. An agreement has not yet been reached.
