Overview
- The government filed an amendment expanding the pause to long careers, active and super‑active public workers, certain overseas regimes, and people born in early 1965, with Bercy saying beneficiaries represent more than 20% of a generation.
- The article would halt the progression to the 64‑year age and the extra quarter until January 2028, letting the 1964 cohort retire at 62 years and 9 months with 170 quarters instead of 171.
- Vote alignments point to passage: the Socialists and National Rally back the pause, most Renaissance and MoDem deputies plan to abstain, and LR, Horizons and LFI oppose it.
- Estimated costs have climbed from €100 million in 2026 and €1.4 billion in 2027 to up to €300–400 million next year and roughly €1.8–1.9 billion in 2027, with financing narrowed mainly to a higher CSG on capital income after other levies were rejected.
- The measure still faces a high hurdle as the Senate signals it will seek to undo the change, and the CGT has called a strike and demonstration for 2 December.
