On the occasion of the union mobilization this Thursday, the rebellious deputy calls for “taking stock” after three years of successive crises.
For François Ruffin, the mobilization this Thursday against the pension reform is “the hour of reckoning”. According to the deputy La France insoumise (LFI), it is not simply a question of protesting against the executive’s bill, but of “taking stock”, after the successive crises experienced by the country, between the pandemic of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine.
Guest of BFMTV-RMC, Picard reminds the President of the Republic of his past remarks, when he addressed the French on television on April 13, 2020, a month after having confined the country for the first time.
“Double Punishment”
“We will also have to remember that our whole country is based on these men and women whom our economies recognize and pay so badly,” said the head of state, referring to “the aftermath” of the health crisis.
“They promised that it would be better for the workers on the second line. Conversely, what do we have? No reward. The first penalty is inflation which erodes low wages”, castigates the elected official of the Somme. Before adding:
“The double penalty is that they are the ones who will pay the most for extending from 62 to 64 years of age”.
“And on the other side”, there are “record dividends for the leaders of the CAC 40”, denounces François Ruffin, relying on an article by echoes. According to him, to finance the pension system, “there must be a contribution from the great fortunes”.
