In France, Life Expectancy Is 82.5 Years

In Romania life expectancy is 72.9 years.

Macron wants to raise the pension age from 62 to 64.

Ciucă wants to raise the pension age from 63 to 65 for women as well, and thereafter from 65 — the present pension age for men (already higher than the age imposed by Macron!) — to 70… for everybody (“optionally”, of course)!

The French take to the street and protest violently.

Romanians sit at home and watch on television how the French take to the street and protest violently.

Enjoy the viewing!

(during a break from television-watching you may perhaps realise that we shall work until death and that we pay the state pension contributions for nothing. Literally “for nothing”!)

Postscript: if we look more closely at the television, perhaps we shall also understand the difference between a people and a population!
