Francois Bayrou stated during his parliamentary address, 'I'm choosing to put this subject back on the agenda... for a short time and under transparent conditions,' which emphasizes his commitment to open discussions about pension reforms alongside budget stability.
Bayrou expressed a need for a budget that guarantees financial balance, emphasizing the integrity of the pension system: 'As long as an approved budget can guarantee financing and the financial balance of the pension system is maintained.'
The contentious plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 has been framed as essential for financial stability. Bayrou noted, 'The plan was a cornerstone of reforms led by President Emmanuel Macron, aiming to unlock billions in funds for reducing the budget deficit.'
