Five months after the first mobilization against the pension reform, whose decree on the lowering of the legal exit age to 64 was published this Sunday morning in the Official Gazette, the motivation of the inter-union does not wane. The unions call this Tuesday a fourteenth day of mobilization against the pension reform, two days before the examination in Parliament of a bill that seeks to repeal the reform.
“This law will leave its mark and we will remain mobilized. We want to show the government that the citizens have not turned the page,” Cyril Chabanier, president of the French Confederation of Christian Workers (CFTC), told BFMTV.
The inter-union called again this Tuesday to the deputies to vote on the bill of the Liot group that cancels the reduction of the retirement age to 64 years.
The decree, “is not welcome”
The president of the CFTC considers that the publication of the decree on the 64 years on the morning of this Sunday is “a provocation”.
Some 250 actions are planned across France, which should bring together between 400 and 600,000 people, including between 40,000 and 70,000 in the capital, according to authorities. Strikes are announced among electricians and gas, as well as in rail and air transport, resulting in particular in the cancellation of a third of the flights from Paris-Orly.
