Some kind of gathering of rebel slingers. François Ruffin, Clémentine Autain, Éric Coquerel, Alexis Corbière and Raquel Garrido will organize a joint meeting on February 16, as revealed the parisian. It will take place in the constituency of the latter at 7:00 p.m. at the Bobigny Departmental Labor Exchange, Seine-Saint-Denis.
Officially, the item on the agenda is the pension reform that the executive will unveil to the French on January 10, before a presentation to the Council of Ministers on January 23. This bill should consist, in particular, in postponing the legal retirement age to 64 or 65 years, compared to the current 62 years.
“Dream team”
However, beyond their opposition to the pension reform, the five guests -who will also be accompanied by MEP Leïla Chaibi- share another point in common: they were not retained in the new leadership of LFI headed by Manuel Bompard was officially appointed this Thursday, as had been announced for a few days.
Most of those who failed made their dissatisfaction clear. Clementine Autain, for example, denounced in the columns of Release a “withdrawal” and a “blockade”, “brutally assumed”. In the party, this crisis has been added to another, which has paralyzed the LFI for months: the Quatennens affair, named after the Northern deputy, sentenced to 4 months in prison after slapping his wife and whose return feeds the internal debates.
In a tweet confirming the upcoming organization of the meeting, Raquel Garrido highlighted the quality of the “brilliant speakers” invited, evoking a “dream team”. Both a compliment to those interested and a message to the new address.
