An opening of the debate on the hectic pension reform. The leader of the La France insoumise (LFI) deputies, Mathilde Panot, defended this Monday before the Assembly the rejection of the government’s pension reform project that “aggravates the chaos” for the French who already face many difficulties.
“Let’s be clear: this reform is neither done nor to be done. But it is in a period of chaos that chaos worsens,” Mathilde Panot launched to the government, before voting on a “motion to reject the prerequisite” of her text This motion was defeated 292 to 243. The elected representatives of Nupes and RN contributed their votes, but not those of LR.
LFI asks for salary increase
Panot criticized a reform announced “the day we know that the CAC40 has paid 80,000 million to shareholders” and “while our country emerges from a health crisis, the first of which will be the first to be persecuted for its reform.”
“You are announcing it when the French are strangled by the high cost of living” and when the country “still has 10 million poor people,” he continued.
Instead of asking employees to work longer, the leader of the LFI MPs called on the government to raise wages to generate more contributions.
“Achieve professional equality between women and men. Increase the employment rate of the elderly,” he urged.
The text of the reform must be examined for two weeks in the National Assembly, where the government only has a relative majority.
