Is the pension reform really “useless” financially?

The financial “survival” of the pension system really in danger? The hearing of the President of the Pensions Orientation Council (COR) by the deputies last Thursday put this question back in the spotlight. Repeatedly brandished by the executive to justify its reform, the argument of the financial balance of the system would have, we hear in the oppositions, been contradicted by Pierre-Louis Bras.
