Pension reform: LFI and RN criticize government project

“They chose social damage over social emergency response. MP Mathilde Panot, president of the Nupes-LFI group in the National Assembly, reacted strongly this Thursday evening after Prime Minister Elisabeth Born’s speech at Le Parisien. The head of the executive branch unveiled the government’s first pension reform measures to be presented in December.

“When you extend the retirement age, it will cost you $5 billion in terms of disability pensions, sickness benefits and unemployment benefits. Is this the world we want to offer people? That is, the reform of the last century? This reform is useless, it must be fought,” she insisted on Friday morning, invited from right to left.

His colleague Aurélien Saintoul, Nup’s deputy for the Haute-Seine, also reacted sharply to Twitter, insisting that “it is enough to constantly mock the workers! »

On the side of the RN MP from Pas de Calais Marine Le Pen. criticized the “obscenity” of the reform entrusted by the government: “At a time when the situation for the French is already very difficult, it is indecent to want to impose a pension at 65, and even in such a brutal way,” she said, wondering about “other emergencies” that the government could handle such problems as “inflation, unemployment and the energy crisis”.
