“We are witnessing the turnaround with satisfaction”, welcomes the French Confederation of Retirees

To avoid immediate censorship of socialist deputies, the Prime Minister made some concessions on Friday evening, in particular on the planned freezing of retirement pensions. “For months, we have been targeting retirees as if they were particularly advantaged, which is completely false,” denounces Pierre Erbs.

“We are witnessing the government’s turnaround with satisfaction,” welcomed Saturday, November 1 on franceinfo, Pierre Erbs, president of the French Confederation of Retirees, while Sébastien Lecornu said, Friday, “favorable” the abandonment of the freeze on retirement pensions and social minimums in 2026.

“We are ready to contribute to the effort like all French people, but what we cannot stand is being truly targeted”harassed Pierre Erbs. “For months, we have been targeting retirees as if they were particularly advantaged, which is completely false. They do not live in a privileged situation, it has become unbearable to talk about ‘grandpa boomer’!”defends the president of the French Confederation of Retirees.

It is therefore the deputies who will decide on the unfreezing of retirement pensions and social minimums. The government planned to make savings of up to 3.6 billion on these subjects, which could be partly offset by an increase in the CSG on assets, already voted on at the initiative of the left in committee in the Social Security budget.
