Marine Le Pen confirms the RN's position on retirement at 62 years old

Guest on BFM TV, Marine Le Pen She again defended the National Rally's position on pensions, reaffirming her opposition to raising the legal retirement age. The RN leader maintains the objective of a retirement age of 62, while also stating her desire to preserve the financial balance of the system.

The MP believes that funding pensions depends primarily on improving the employment rate in France. She specifically wants to encourage young people to enter the job market more quickly through the development of apprenticeships, vocational training programs, and direct employment upon graduation.

The National Rally also wants to boost employment for older people.

Marine Le Pen also stressed the need to increase the employment rate of older workers. According to her, France lags significantly behind several other European countries in terms of senior employment, which puts a lasting strain on social security finances and pension funding.

For several months, the party has advocated an approach based on returning people to work rather than extending the working life. This position is regularly challenged by several economists and political opponents, who believe it is difficult to sustain the retirement age of 62 without significant new financial resources.
