The Sages have decided. The pension reform, a bill disputed in France for several weeks, has been largely validated by the Constitutional Council. However, the institution guaranteeing respect rejected 6 provisions of the text. At the same time, the Elders rejected a request for a shared initiative referendum (RIP) submitted by the left.

Unsurprisingly, the senior index, a new mandatory indicator to update the practices of large companies in terms of employment of employees over 55, has been revoked. It required companies with more than 1,000 employees to collect precise data on their employees over 55: share of these seniors in recruitment, professional training guaranteed to them (among others).

The Elders have not validated the conditions for the opening of the right to early departure for civil servants who have completed their services in a job classified as active or super-active during the ten years preceding their tenure.
Article 17 was partly rejected. In particular the part which provided for specific individual monitoring for the benefit of employees exercising or having exercised trades or activities particularly exposed to certain occupational risk factors.
