Olivier Faure, first secretary of the socialist party, questioned the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt about the pension reform, this Tuesday at the National Assembly.
The first secretary of the PS, Olivier Faure, accused Tuesday in the National Assembly the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt of having “denied” his progressive convictions by carrying the pension reform project, the latter accusing him in response of having “sold social democracy to the extreme left”.
“Mr. Dussopt, I knew you in another era, when you effectively defended the French who started working early. You defended those who get up at dawn in the morning, take the RER or bus, those who empty our bins , those who are forklift drivers, nursing assistants, etc., those who actually only had you to defend them and you forgot them”, attacked the deputy for Seine-et-Marne during the session of questions to the government, with reference to the minister’s socialist past.
“You are being walked on by Mélenchon”
“Today you are among those who are going to defend a bill where those who started working between the ages of 14 and 20 will have to contribute 44 years when all the others will only have to contribute for 43 years. ( …) I am not in your head or in your skin, but I am ashamed for you, ashamed of what you are defending today, ashamed to see that you have denied all of your projects”, a he continued.
“Mr. Faure (…) the effects of the sleeve do not work, the treason trials I am immune, especially when they come from those who sold social democracy to the far left to save their seats”, replied the Minister of Labour.
“You defend retirement at 60 with 43 annuities, you are going to impoverish retirees, you are in the wheel of rebellious France, you are being walked on by Jean-Luc Mélenchon”, he chained, dismissing Olivier Faure at his “congress”, while the latter is fighting to be re-elected as head of the PS.
