Louis Duclos described as a "seismic" event the fact that one-third of the national education budget is devoted to pensions, while high school students were protesting. He stated that pension expenditures exceeded 420 billion euros, more than the GDP of Portugal, and estimated that they were widening the gap between generations and weighing on the working population. He also mentioned the condition of certain high schools, the unfilled teaching positions, the difficulties related to Parcoursup, and the challenges faced by young people in finding employment or housing. According to him, the youth had reasons to be angry, although he specified that the retirees, who had contributed all their lives, should not be blamed. He called for a profound reform of the system and advocated for France to invest more in its youth. #Éducation #Retraites #Jeunesse (translated)
