The coordinator of La France insoumise supported this Sunday in “BFM Politique” the opponents of the pension reform who cut off electricity to parliamentarians in favor of the pension reform.
“When employees decide to use means of action against this pension reform, as long as these are non-violent means of action, I support them,” he declares.
“It is not violent to cut off the electricity in a parliamentary office for an hour”, considers the LFI deputy who prefers to speak of “symbolic acts”.
Manuel Bompard also assured his “support” to all the town halls that plan to close on Tuesday in solidarity with the protesters. “There’s no reason to be outraged about that,” he said.
A renaissance parliamentarian targeted on January 20
Before the mobilization of January 20, the CGT had threatened to carry out specific power cuts in the offices of parliamentarians who support the pension reform.
On January 19, the day of the national strike against the reform, a Renaissance deputy from Lot claimed that she had been the target of a power cut at her office in Figeac. She then filed a complaint.
However, this mode of action is not unanimous. Laurent Berger, general secretary of the CFDT, assured in particular that the union “does not support” this type of practice.
The EELV deputy for Paris, Sandrine Rousseau, defended these cuts this week, considering that “all ways of stopping this reform are good as long as they are not violent.”
