“You have to withdraw your project.” A guest on BFMTV this Tuesday night, François Ruffin spoke after a day of mobilization across France against the government’s pension reform bill.
According to figures provided by the police to BFMTV, 1.272 million protesters registered today in France. A few minutes earlier, the CGT announced that it had counted 2.8 million people on the streets.
According to the rebel member of the Somme, based on these figures, the government should simply abandon its project.
“Mr Macron must show responsibility […] You have to withdraw your project. You have to say, a bit like De Gaule: ‘I understood you’ and ‘enough is enough'”, encouraged François Ruffin on our antenna.
A “clear message”
Then he added: “We are before a power in a state of deafness.” […] A clear message has passed to Emmanuel Macron.”
While Elisabeth Borne acknowledged that the reform “raises questions and doubts”, François Ruffin especially considered that “three-quarters of the French reject” the reform, according to the “L’Opinion en direct” survey of the Elabe Institute for BFMTV last Wednesday. .
It is also mainly on the opinion of the French, and their mobilization in the street, that the deputy bases himself to request the abandonment of the reform because he believes little in the possibilities of opposition in the National Assembly.
“I am very skeptical about what will happen in the Assembly,” said François Ruffin.
