The deputy Sébastien Chenu (RN) judged this Friday “totally scandalous” that the unions do not accept the elected representatives of his party in the demonstrations against the pension reform, ensuring that “it is not prohibited” to participate in the next mobilization on Tuesday . .
“I do not forbid myself from being somewhere on the street. I am not waiting for authorization from the CGT or from anyone,” said the deputy in LCI, when asked about his possible participation on Tuesday in the next day of demonstrations against. pension reform.
“hypocrites”
Sébastien Chenu described as “totally scandalous” the statements of the union leaders, in particular those of the general secretary of the CGT, Philippe Martinez, who had assured that the elected representatives of the National Group “were not welcome in our demonstrations”, recommending that they “strongly do not come.”
“Can you imagine if today on the set I said that I forbid left-wing activists or elected officials from participating in demonstrations, we would find it scary and we would be right,” he let himself be carried away.
“Beyond that, I don’t want to find myself arm in arm with totally hypocritical people, who are trying to clear their conscience,” he added, recalling that most of the unions had called for blocking Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential elections against Emmanuel Macron.
“The street does not belong to them”
“They made him choose. Now they are organizing demonstrations,” he reproached them. In CNews, the deputy and spokesman for the RN, Laurent Jacobelli, agreed:
“The same people who called Emmanuel Macron to vote and who are therefore ultimately co-authors of this pension reform, whatever they say, have a good game now playing arsonist firefighters,” he said.
“The street does not belong to them,” he said. “I think that (union leaders) would be surprised to learn the number of voters among their affiliates who vote for RN,” added the deputy.
