Bruno Le Maire, Minister of Economy and Finance
POLITICS – After “Bruno asks”, “Bruno summons”. Questioned on BFMTV this Thursday, May 2 about the recent agreement concluded between the unions and the SNCF on pensions, the Minister of the Economy evokes a “ dysfunction “. Bruno Le Maire thus urged Jean-Pierre Farandou, the boss of the railway company, whose capital is 100% owned by the State, to come “ accountable “, ” in the next few days “.
“ This agreement is not satisfactory in my eyes ” And ” gives a feeling of double standards » regretted the tenant of Bercy, who also swears not to have been warned. The text, signed last Monday April 22, notably provides for an improvement in the early retirement system, in particular for railway workers who have held positions of proven arduousness. Drivers, for example, will be able to initiate a “ early termination of activity » 30 months before their retirement with 15 months worked paid at 100% and 15 months not worked paid at 75%.

Just a few days ago, government spokesperson Prisca Thevenot tried to justify: “itis an end-of-career management agreement for difficult careers, so it respects the spirit of the law “.

Mr. Bruno Le Maire acts like a serial killer of social achievements” tweeted the head of the green list in the European elections, Marie Toussaint.
