Present a listening face. Gabriel Attal reacted from the Senate, where the debates continue, to this new day of demonstration against the pension reform.
“The demonstrations are legitimate. We have always heard the anger,” judged the Deputy Minister of Budgets on Tuesday afternoon.
“They denounce those who call for the blockade everywhere”
With more than 260 demonstrations, the executive tries to turn his back and always appears willing to modify his text, leaning on the senatorial right.
The government should approve certain modifications for the pension of women who have had less than 2 children, in accordance with the will of Bruno Retailleau, president of the LR group at the Luxembourg Palace.
Gabriel Attal, however, rebuked La France’s insoumise strategy, starting with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, without naming him.
“We continue to denounce those who call for a blockade everywhere and all the time and who call to bring the economy to its knees”, thus launched the Delegate Minister before the senators.
Towards a new strike day on March 11
“On March 7, everything is blocked, everything must stop everywhere,” the head of La France insoumise had launched during a meeting in Montpellier in February. LFI MP Louis Boyard also launched a social media challenge this weekend, calling on young people to block their high school and university and post their photos of the blockade followed by the hashtag #BlocusChallenge.
The secretary general of the CGT Chemical Federation, Emmanuel Lépine, said he was ready on BFMTV to “bring the French economy to its knees” on March 3 for the government to withdraw its reform bill and flagship measure.
To continue putting pressure on the executive, the inter-union union already plans a new day of mobilization this Saturday, March 11.
