So I heard France have been protesting/striking/demonstrating the whole week because Nicolas Sarkozy decided to increase the pension from 60 to 62 years right?
Brief me some more about it, it's nice to see the french not surrendering for once (:D) and using their rights of democracy, unlike the maltese who didn't do anything when the government decided to increase it to 65. (Now tell me what the hell will people of 65 be able to provide to the country at that age...)
Feel free to discuss and brief me about whats happening/going to happen with the proposal of Sarkozy.

they just sit while they get shit throwed at their face.
Plenty other things, tho
and cause in France there aren"t any discussion before the proposal, so they can just strike/proteste after it. i mean, in belgium for exemple minister and co'll discut with syndicate, companies delegation, ... before the proposal and not after like in France where they can just go in the street and protest
The best option in this matter would be even worse, kill older generation, no taxes for elderly anymore + the population wouldnt increase and there would be more jobs.
But what the heck, rational people would go with raising the age limitation for retirement.
PS. Europe's biggest problem is rapid aging of the population and not enough workers to keep those elderly alive. On the other hand, they could decrease the money for retirement, that would work too. Lets see how happy ppl would be with that.
Basically, our government wants to lenghten our work period from 65 to 67 years old arguing that's its the only way to finance our pension system (we are living longer, therefore there are more people who are retired, so the active people need to work during a couple of years more to ensure a decent pension revenu for the retired people).
The government says : WE LIVE LONGER, WE HAVE TO WORK MORE.
I don't know if French people have to be considered as lazy persons but they ve been fighting for a long time in order to enjoy a decent retirement time. (dont know if that's clear).
What the goverment doesn't want to hear - and thats why we are going on strikes and making riots - is that there are other ways to finance the pensions :
-Helping the young people finding a job (actually, about 24% of the young people, who are under 28 are unemployed)
-Taxing the capital revenus, i.e. benefits made in the banking/financial world are not taxed like the working revenus. It represents loads of money !
- Since the goverment is a right-wing party, they are being friendly to the rich people :
Rich people cannot be taxed on more than 50% of their revenus. That's a new law called the "bouclier fiscal" (fiscal shield).
Moreover, there has been a huge scandal during summer among the government featuring one of the minister and Sarkozy himself. That would be too complexe to expand here but basically, that person was doing fiscal fraud in order not to pay taxes, and the governement knew it but was protecting her because she gave loads of money to Sarkozy to finance his political campaign during the 2007 elections.
I don't know if I've been very clear but to summarize, the government does not want to hear the people who will willing to have a fairer system, where the rich people would contribute along with the poor people. We want our government to stop scaming with rich people... There are many other ways to finance our pensions system but the goverment doesn't want to use them, because it concerns rich people...
Malta keep getting more worse than it already is.
