Priority of pension reform in France 2022, by vote in the presidential election

Initially planned for 2017, the pension reform desired by Emmanuel Macron is the subject of new discussions in France. At the beginning of October 2022, a first round of consultations on the reform began between the government and the social partners. When asked about it at the end of September, a little less than a third of French people considered this reform as a priority, and a quarter of them saw it as secondary. For 42 percent of the respondents, it was important, but not a priority. Those most likely to think that this reform was a priority or at least important were people who voted for Emmanuel Macron or Valérie Pécresse in the first round of the presidential elections in April 2022. Conversely, far-left (47 percent) and far-right party supporters (34 and 43 percent) were more likely to consider it as secondary.
