Pensions: for Laurent Berger, adopting the text with 49.3 would be “dangerous”

In the columns of the Journal du Dimanche, the general secretary of the CFDT estimated that “the debate did not take place in the Assembly and was accelerated in the Senate”.

Resorting to article 49.3 to approve the pension reform would be “dangerous” and would constitute “a form of democratic vice”, warns this Sunday the leader of the CGT Laurent Berger in an interview with the JDD.

“A form of democratic vice”

Then he continues: “Approving by this hasty procedure a reform that is at the same time very impactful for the lives of tens of millions of people, unfair from our point of view and badly improvised, would be a form of democratic vice.” “That the end of the story is a 49.3 seems incredible and dangerous to me.”

On the contrary, “if Parliament votes on the text, but it is far from doing so, it will be necessary to take note”, he acknowledges, while estimating that “be that as it may, the world of work totally rejects this reform”.

“The determination that is expressed in the street”, after seven days of mobilization in response to the call of the inter-union and before an eighth Wednesday, “is turning into anger”, warns Laurent Berger, who reiterates the call of the union leaders to the organization of a referendum on raising the legal retirement age to 64 years.

For him, “the challenge of the world of work is enormous, deep and lasting”, and “it is not because this text is adopted that people will say to themselves: + We move on to the next sequence +. That is what the technicians advising the government to believe. And they are wrong.”

A “very deep resentment”

“I never condone violence. Afterwards, perhaps it is a regrettable consequence of the contempt we face. There is a very deep resentment in the working world, ”she warns.
