Talking about threats on democracy when they are trying to avoid a vote in the parliament for the unpopular reform of retirement system. Ironic
Voting for everything and anthing isn't always a good idea. The value of each vote is linked to how knowledgable the person voting is in regards to the subject they are voting on.
The whole retirement age situation could probably have been handled better, but in the end, if the pension fund runs out of money, it runs out of money. It's a 0 sum game. You either:
Either way, people will be unhapy lol
I'm afraid if we don't change the whole system, we'll experience all three points, and not only in France.
I feel like everything should be voted in the parliament, especially when there is a strong opposition in the country. FYI, the retirement reform was not voted in the parliament !
Retirement system is quite complex in France and is mostly managed by unions except when the gouvernement make a big reform. For the "retraites complémentaires" (the bonus part), there were an agreement between workers' unions and employers' federation.
