The Nobel Prize winner for Literature Annie Ernaux, the actress Adèle Haenel, the actor Jean-Pierre Darroussin and the writer Nicolas Mathieu are among the hundred artists and intellectuals who protest against the pension reform in a column published this Wednesday by the weekly leftist Politics.
The signatories express their “determination to fight against this archaic and terribly unequal reform project” in this forum posted on the web on Wednesday, before the publication of the magazine on newsstands on Thursday, the day of the strike and inter-professional demonstrations against this measure. .
“The reform will hit hardest those who work in the most difficult and exhausting jobs – both physically and psychologically – and who are less likely to enjoy a peaceful retirement and imagine a future after age 64,” the signatories say.
“Seduce Right”
“The objective, contrary to social history, is to make women and men work more and more, who aspire to rest and give free rein to their projects at a privileged moment in life”, he continues about this reform, which provides for Delaying the legal retirement age of 62 to 64 years.
According to these personalities marked on the left, the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron thus wants to “seduce the right to create a majority that the ballot box did not give him.”
Among the signatories are also the economists Julia Cagé and Thomas Piketty, the actresses Ariane Ascaride and Corinne Masiero, the musician Dominique A, the comedian Guillaume Meurice and the presenter Valérie Damidot.
