This is all dramatic and very tragic, but the numbers don't make sense. It's not something where passion should win over reason. Current and future generations will be screwed if this pension system isn't reformed. If anything Macron deserves applauses for committing political suicide for the greater good
- 0xDEF 4y agoHe is not committing political suicide. He has always been unpopular but the only alternative is the far-right.
- ephimetheus 4y agoWhich is what worries me. A far right government in France might spell doom for the EU
- p4bl0 4y agoThis is not true. Numbers aren't alarming at all. And there are many solutions that could be deployed if it were the case. It is a matter of political choice.
- cmehdy 4y agoNobody is getting screwed if this isn't getting reformed, the central committee dedicated to making projections for retirement funds projected a mild deficit by 2070 in only 1 out of 4 of its scenarios. The government gave this money away to the already rich and is trying to bullshit everybody else that "there's no other way". People have had enough of this behaviour, and the strikes on a scale unseen since 95 show it.
