“Yes to the right to be lazy!”: in the Assembly, Sandrine Rousseau pleads for “the right to retire at 60”

The green parliamentarian calls for “reduction of working time”, “distribution of wealth”, as well as “slowdown”.

An allegation on a subject that continues to be raised: Sandrine Rousseau defended the “right to be lazy” from the chamber, for the first day of examination of the pension reform.

“We have one body, only one, we have one life, only one, we have one planet, only one,” the ecologist deputy first recounted and then called for “the reduction of working time”, “for shared wealth”, “to take care of ourselves ourselves and our environment” as well as “slowing down.

“Indeed, it’s the third class that dives first”

According to the elected representative of Paris, “we can no longer continue like this.” “There is a planet and they are destroying it,” he told the government. The finalist of the last primaries of Europe Ecology – The Greens then indulged in a metaphor, comparing the pension reform with a well-known tragedy: the sinking of the Titanic.

“In fact, it is the third class that is submerged first and then the whole ship will be lost. And we know the end, it is mainly the rich who have places on the canals”, developed Sandrine Rousseau to criticize the government’s policy.

“But we will prevent tomorrow and the other days from monopolizing our common good: retirement,” he said in the process.

Quoting Paul Lafargue, author of right to laziness In 1880, the fifty-year-old indicated that retirement was necessary “for the working classes, precisely because it made it possible to force the bourgeoisie to stop consuming excessively.” “Yes, we are there,” he insisted. Before concluding, to applause from the left: “Yes to the right to laziness, yes to the right to retire at 60.”
