“It’s not all added up,” assures CGT general secretary Sophie Binet on RMC/BFMTV on Tuesday before the start of the 14th day of anti-pension reform demonstrations. Mobilization “will continue to be extremely high,” she said.
“Six months have passed since the beginning of the mobilization” and “today there will be hundreds of thousands of people in demonstrations and on strike,” she assures, “we will continue to fight to ensure that this law is not applied.”
Preventing the vote “would be extremely serious for the democratic situation”
The trade unionist is also calling for MPs to vote on Thursday. However, Assembly President Yael Braun-Pivé should use Article 40 of the Constitution, which prohibits parliamentarians from making amendments with financial implications, to oppose Lyot’s bill to abolish the 64-year-old retirement clause.
“If this prevented Parliament from voting again on Thursday, it would be extremely serious for the democratic situation in the country, it would set a serious precedent,” launches Sophie Binet, fearing then “great anger” in the country. “After that, the question will arise, why do we need a parliament, what are parliamentarians for? »
“It would be outrageous from a democratic point of view to prevent this vote,” she repeats, “the current passage provokes anger, dangerous anger for the country.”
