The first secretary of the PS, Olivier Faure, accused Labor Minister Olivier Dussopt this Tuesday in the National Assembly of having “denied” his progressive convictions when carrying out the pension reform project, accusing the latter of having “sold out social democracy to the far left.”
“Mr. Dussopt, I met you at another time, when you effectively defended the French who started work early. I defended those who get up at dawn, take the RER or the bus, those who empty our bins, those who are forklift drivers, nursing assistants, etc., those who really only had you to defend them and you forgot about them” , attacked the deputy for Seine-et-Marne during the question session with the Government, referring to the minister’s socialist past.
“Mélenchon is stepping on you”
“Today you are among those who are going to defend a bill where those who started working between the ages of 14 and 20 will have to contribute 44 years when everyone else will only have to contribute 43 years. (…) I am not in your head or on your skin, but I am ashamed for you, ashamed of what you defend today, ashamed to see that you have denied all your projects, ”he continued.
“Mr. Faure (…) the effects of the sleeve do not work, I am immune to treason trials, especially when they come from those who sold social democracy to the extreme left to save their seats,” replied the Minister of Labor. .
“You defend retirement at 60 with 43 life annuities. You are going to impoverish retirees. You are at the wheel of rebellious France. Jean-Luc Mélenchon is trampling you”, he chained, dismissing Olivier Faure in his “congress”. while the latter fights to be re-elected at the head of the PS.
