Guest of BFMTV this Sunday, the LR president of the Hauts de France region, Xavier Bertrand, denounced a “deeply unfair” pension reform and pleaded for a “radically different policy”.
Xavier Bertrand denounces the method used by the government on pensions. “I think from the start that we could very clearly do otherwise on this reform” of pensions, said Sunday on BFMTV the president Les Républicains of the Hauts-de-France region, Xavier Bertrand.
Deeming this reform “deeply unfair”, Xavier Bertrand considered that the government had “given up social dialogue”, while the reform carried out by the executive faces opposition from the main unions. He is himself in favor of extending the contribution period rather than raising the retirement age as provided for by the current reform.
He also pleaded for a “change of method” and a “radically different policy”.
“We are at an extremely critical moment and we are going into the wall,” assured the president of the Hauts-de-France region.
LFI, the “useful idiot of everyone” according to Bertrand
Xavier Bertrand criticized the attitude of all political sides during the debates on pensions. Pointing to the behavior of La France insoumise deputies in the National Assembly during these debates, the regional president judges that “it is the government which is using La France insoumise today, which is attacking La France insoumise”.
LFI “is in a way everyone’s useful idiot”, added Xavier Bertrand, castigating “the macronie” who “forgets during this time to denounce the silence of the National Front” (renamed National Rally in 2018 ).
“The extremes today are waiting for only one thing, chaos for La France insoumise and the consequences of chaos for the National Front”, assured the regional president.
Faced with the rise in popularity of the National Rally, underlined by various polls in recent weeks, the elected official declared that “we must flush them out, show that they have no solutions to the problems”. “We have to show clearly that they have no project,” added Xavier Bertrand.
