me explain why we have a pension system in france that is intergenerational were distributed basically. current workers pay for current pensioners. it s a welfare system that were very attached to, but we want to preserve it. and when you have changing demographics when people live longer than the best way to balance it to be able to save it in a long run is for people to work a little longer. this is what all of our european neighbors have done, and this is what we re doing this year. we know it s an effort to ask from people to work longer, so we know it s always been unpopular to reform the pension system. but it is necessary. it s also necessary to be able to pay for other major aspects of our social system such as health or education, and this is why the president campaigned on it. he knew it would be on everybody needed a mandate to be able to have the legitimacy to do so. and but mr dot president emmanuel macron, as you know, he forced this reform proposal
unpopular president. with a lot of people that you ll see here. the members of the trade unions, the workers who feel they ll be penalized by his reforms, and one of the impressions that people give in, you ll see it again on the sign post here today. they wanted their slogans is that he is the president of the rich. this is a protest movement that is being fueled by anger of inflation. the cost of living the fact that people are struggling to make ends meet. they feel at the time when they have a president far too focused on what s happening in the outside world and far too focused on trying to reform the economy. these people are saying they re very happy with the model they had. and what they want is for people to keep on retiring with a very generous state pensions they ve had, essentially since the end of world war two when the social system was created here. alright melissa bell for us on the streets in paris as nighttime does approach melissa, please, as i keep saying, stay safe
