Although the Constitutional Council must deliver its long-awaited opinion on April 14 on compliance with the pension reform, the CGT clarified this Thursday the arguments it put forward to censor the law in whole or in part and file it with the Constitutional Council, in addition to the declaration joint sent by the intersyndicale.
In a press release, the union first explains that “the government had hijacked parliamentary procedure by using a social security financing reform bill to pass its law, which allowed it to impose another 49.3. And this, while A pension reform of this magnitude has nothing to do with a reform project for 2023, and should go through a normal law, to allow a true democratic debate”.
Second argument: “the effects that this pension reform will have on women, or even unequal treatment. Our contribution also denounces the CDI seniors who continue to allow exemptions to companies due to an impact that will be almost zero on the employment of seniors”.
The Constitutional Council “can only censor this brutal reform”
Finally, the CGT “also pointed out that the government was illegally attacking pioneering schemes, through a PLFRSS (social security finance reform bill, editor’s note) by 2023, while the abolition of these schemes It won’t have very little effect on finances.” of 2023. It will not take full effect until the following years, which again constitutes a serious circumvention of parliamentary procedure”.
For the union, the Constitutional Council “can only censor this brutal and unjustified reform. The CGT is also waiting for a favorable ruling on a Shared Initiative Referendum.”
Sophie Binet spoke from the Ivry-sur-Seine incinerator near Paris, again blocked by protesters hostile to pension reform.
The President of the Republic “is totally disconnected from the needs of the population. He even went so far as to explain to us that he was going to bring together the union organizations to talk to us about something else. So he did not understand anything ”. Sophie Binet continued.
“He should not promulgate this law, otherwise he will not be able to lead the country,” she reiterated, surrounded by a hundred protesters who had come to reinforce the current blockade, under police presence, and to ensure that trucks do not enter or leave. the place.
