Invited this afternoon on BFMTV, the national secretary of Europe Ecology-The Greens (EELV), Marine Tondelier, estimated that the pension reform carried out by the government of Elisabeth Borne was “the detonator of social discontent”.
A discontent of the French that has been manifesting itself in the streets for several weeks. This Tuesday, while the inter-union called for the third day of mobilization in all parts of France, the number of protesters decreased somewhat compared to January 31.
“Close to two million” people demonstrated this Tuesday in France according to the CGT, which had mentioned 2.8 million participants on January 31and more than two million on the 19th. According to the police, this Tuesday there were 757,000 throughout France.
“There is an intensification of the social movement”
This drop in figures did not worry Marine Tondelier, who invoked the economic pressure of the French who want to go on strike and the deadline for Saturday, February 11, the day of the fourth inter-union demonstration.
According to her, “there is an intensification of the social movement” despite everything.
For this reason, Marine Tondelier and all the opponents of the pension reform “will not let it pass.” “We protested for all her work” after “a series of humiliations,” she finally points out on our antenna.
