The French Government has dismantled the taboo of retirement. Mitterrand had installed in over 60 years in 1983 and no president had dared to contradict him, but Nicolas Sarkozy considered unsustainable for the privilege. Not only because of the inability of government accounts. Also because the European average of 65 rounds.
It is the reason why this morning has announced a reform according to which French workers may not be withdrawn before age 62. So definitely happen in 2018, so the slope term will gradually tweak the myth of 60 years.
It is not the only novelty. Labor Minister, Eric Woerth, also announced that will raise the contribution period entitling to a full retirement. Was set so far in 41 years, but Sarkozy has seen fit to increase three months in 2013 and five months of 2020.
The measures have been accelerated by the economic crisis and provide an added tax on large fortunes. It is estimated that 350,000 households in the French elite must contribute between 1% and 2% more than they did until now protected by the tax shield.
In addition, there will be increases in deductions for movable and immovable property gains, on dividends and interest, as well as deductions stock options (stock options).
It promises a hot summer and a fall in France, especially as the opposition Socialists and trade unions have already expressed opposition to pension reform and pledged to mobilize all levels to derail the project.
In fact, the six main unions have called a general strike on Thursday June 24 to protest the reform.
Aware of the pressure, Sarkozy himself has not dared to go too far.
