The government is doing everything possible to preserve them. For some time now, retirees have benefited from all or part of the attention of the executive. And for good reason !

The rise in consumer prices, estimated between 5 and 6% over the current year, is reminiscent of BFMTV, therefore eating away at their woolen stockings all the more effectively…
During the campaign which preceded his re-election, on the occasion of the interval between the two rounds during which he was preparing to face Marine Le Pen a second time, Emmanuel Macron therefore undertook to revalue retirement pensions and to re-index to inflation.

And the exact amount of the revaluation will not be amazing: it is set at 4%, which means that retirees will continue to lose money.
