“A real moral or political problem.” A guest of BFMTV-RMC, Olivier Dussopt denounces the upcoming closure of certain town halls during the second inter-union mobilization against the pension reform, on Tuesday, January 31. Among them, the one in Paris, which will keep the door closed “in solidarity with the social movement”, announced ana hidalgosocialist mayor of the capital.
“I have a feeling that[elle] it confuses municipal services with an appendage of the Socialist Party”, whistles the Minister of Labor in response on our antenna. The one who comes from the match with the fist and the rose develops:
“I have a problem with that […] to the extent that I consider that, among Parisians, all those who are in favor of the reform or are not opposed to it, will be deprived of access to public services to which they are entitled, because of the mayor’s political commitment from Paris “.
During the first inter-union mobilization last Thursday, city halls announced their closure to allow city officials to pound the pavement. Next Tuesday, some, like the one in Faches-Tumesnil (North), will even go as far as not counting the strike hours of their employees. A way to prevent them from losing part of their salary.
“It is a real political question in terms of neutrality and respect for the convictions of citizens,” insists Olivier Dussopt on BFMTV-RMC. However, this action remains legal, as the constitutionalist Didier Maus explains on BFMTV.
“That we interrupt the operation of certain non-emergency services for a day does not seem like a problem to me,” he said, although he has specified that the city council is obliged to guarantee “civil status” and “emergency services”. Example: “the relocation of people in case of fire”. For its part, the Paris City Council announced that a minimum service would be provided.
Tuesday, Fabian Roussel he had called on “mayors for solidarity and the symbolic closure of their town hall”. “I ask you to put banners on the pediments of your town hall against Mr Macron’s pension plan. I ask you to allow his agents to demonstrate without loss of salary, ”explained the national secretary of the French Communist Party.
