The project spares certain professions. At least, as far as the alignment of the special regimes with the general regime is concerned. Some trades will not be affected . In other words, even if the reform passes, nothing will change for assets in these sectors .

In its press kit, the executive announces:

“The autonomous regimes (liberal professions and lawyers) and those responding to specific constraints (sailors, Paris Opera, Comédie Française) will not be affected by this closure. The gradual two-year shift in the legal age and the acceleration of the Touraine reform will apply to current employees of special schemes, but taking into account their specificities, ”adds the executive in his press kit.

If you are in one of these occupations, you will not suffer the effects of the pension reform on special diets.
