how Jordan Bardella (well helped by Gilles Bouleau) got stuck in retirement – ​​Libération

In a sequence of great confusion, the RN candidate, having a poor grasp of the subject, suggested that an employee who started working at 24 would leave later than currently with the RN programme.

This is one of the striking sequences of the first debate organized Tuesday June 25 on TF1, which brought together Jordan Bardella, Manuel Bompard and Gabriel Attal. It is around 9:20 p.m. when, after half an hour of discussion, the discussion turns to the subject of pensions. With a simple question asked to candidates: what would happen to an employee who started working at 24? Jordan Bardella describes the RN program in confusing detail: “Progression will be implemented, and which will revolve around a pivotal age of 62 years and 42 annuities, therefore, I noted the example that you mentioned, at 24 years old, you will leave with 42 years of contribution, that is to say 66 years.” Gilles Bouleau cuts it: “66 years old? Later than in the current reform? Jordan Bardella stammers then tries to justify: “For a very simple reason: when you started working later, it is normal that you are led to work later. But when you started working very early, I believe that the budgetary choice… Sorry but we have inherited a very difficult budgetary situation, which will lead me to make choices… I prefer to prioritize the French who started working very early.”… “So there will be winners and losers?”
