This Fund would thus absorb the demographic peak

A step forward, a step backward. Guest last night on TF1, Martine Aubry was step back from its recent statements on pensions. After ten days of cacophony and hesitation on the legal age of retirement, the PS finally arrested a position yesterday afternoon at the end of its national Office. A position of balancing act. Before that Martine Aubry is on the plateau of TF1 and stated that the age of 60 years legal "must remain a right", ten days ago, questioned in the Grand Jury RTL - "Le Figaro" - LCI, it stated that the effective retirement age was 61 years, suggesting that it was logical that the legal age aligned itself with the actual age.

Finally, the Socialists judge that it was essential to take into account the arduous nature of the work for the calculation of the rights.
