Bardella Allies Plan Pension Shift

Jordan Bardella’s allies are proposing changes to Marine Le Pen’s pension policy, aiming to reduce the attractiveness of the generous French pension system. The plan involves scrapping a rule allowing early retirement at 67 and requiring a minimum 42 years of contribution. This shift reflects tensions within the National Rally party regarding its economic credibility and appeal to moderate voters, particularly as the party faces a court ruling regarding Le Pen’s conviction.
