For Xavier Bertrand, guest of BFM Politique this Sunday, Elisabeth Borne’s concession made at the Sunday newspaper (JDD) on the pension reform, related to the development of long careers, “it is a feigned answer”:
“For a majority of LR deputies, for many LR senators, for many French, a principle must be respected: 43 annuities, you retire even before the age of 64.”
“For me this is the first of the conditions for the reform to be more acceptable. There is technique there but it is an artifice. And in a way Madame Borne closes the door on all the LR deputies who indicated with a very consensual amendment, 43 life annuities, we retire before the age of 64,” continued the president of the Hauts-de-France region.
Republicans divided
His position is shared by part of his former political camp. Invited this Sunday morning on BFMTV, the LR deputy for Pas-de-Calais Pierre-Henri Dumont declared himself “very dissatisfied” with the Prime Minister’s new proposal.
“We drew a certain number of red lines as soon as we entered the debate on the priority of the duration of the races”, recalls, again with BFMTV, the deputy of Moselle Fabien Di Filippo, who specifies that his position “n’ does not have change.”
For Fabien Di Filippo, the hand extended by the Prime Minister in the JDD not really one, and the elected official recalls that he did not have “a blank check on the government project but to stretch it in the direction of our values.”
In an interview in Parisian, On Saturday, Éric Ciotti, the president of the republicans, had assured for his part that if the republicans obtain satisfaction in the long races, the government project “to win[ait] a large majority” among the LR.
