The left is divided on the thorny subject of pensions. While environmentalists and France Insoumise demand a clear repeal, the Socialist Party and the Communist Party are pleading for a conference on reform. And you, what do you think?
Nuances that resurface. The New Popular Front is once again divided over pension reform while several left-wing figures debated on BFMTV on Tuesday December 10. If environmentalists and La France insoumise demand a clear repeal, the Socialist Party and the Communist Party are pleading for a conference on reform. The PS deputy Jérôme Guedj thus explained that he preferred “a step forward which allows the non-censorship agreement”rather than “everyone sticks to their positions”. And to support a “financing conference” proposed by trade union organizations and defended by Olivier Faure.
The line of the Socialist Party is the same as that defended by Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the Communist Party. Questioned on franceinfo Tuesday December 10, he supported the idea of a “social conference” with the social partners to find “a way of passage, a path”. He made it clear that he would fight for “repeal this unfair pension reform”but that repeal was impossible in the current political situation, with a divided Assembly and a Senate on the right. Guest of Public Senate on Wednesday December 11, right-wing senator Laure Darcos also considered that a repeal was “unthinkable”.
“Let us propose that this be voted on in the Hemicycle”pleads Sandrine Rousseau
Green MP Sandrine Rousseau proposes that pension reform be the subject of a citizens' initiative referendum or be voted on in the Assembly. “Let us propose that this be voted on in the Hemicycle and the majority of the people will express themselves”she explained. Insoumise France wants a clear repeal of the reform. “We have the majority in the National Assembly to do it”insisted Manon Aubry, adding that“a majority of unions” et “a very large majority of employees” were in favor of it.
