For Renaissance MP Guillaume Kasbarian, “we can’t stay forever” on the pension reform debate
“We can’t stay on this pension reform forever and play the game again,” said Renaissance MP Guillaume Kasbarian on RFI.
“Now that this reform has been made, there are other subjects of concern for the daily life of the French and our country. We must move forward on subjects of daily life, of transformation of our country”, continues the one who is also president of the Economic Affairs Committee.
Bruno Retailleau to the address of the inter-union: “You have to know how to end a strike”
“I tell the inter-union that you have to know how to end a strike, because you can see that it’s degenerating,” said Bruno Retailleau on Public Senate.
“Each time there is a new day of mobilization, there are risks of hyper violence”, judges the boss of the senators Les Républicains (LR). “This responsibility must be assumed by everyone,” he said.
The inter-union has planned to organize a fourteenth day of mobilization on June 6th. Two days before a bill from the Liot group aimed at repealing the age measure of the pension reform is examined in the National Assembly.
Laurent Berger will respond to the employers’ invitation
At the microphone of BFMTV, the leader of the CFDT Laurent Berger has indicated that he wishes to meet the Medef and that the dialogue with the employers has never stopped despite the dispute over the pension reform.
“We will respond to the invitation” of employers, he said.
On the other hand, he sends them a message: “on the question of salary increases, we know that it is more you than the government.”
Laurent Berger (CFDT): if the CGT does not go to Matignon, it is “his problem”
While the unions should soon receive an invitation from the government to dialogue, the CGT seems more hesitant to go there than the CFDT.
Asked about the subject on BFMTV, the leader of the CFDT Laurent Berger replied that if the CGT is not there, it is not a problem but “his” problem.
The CFDT has not yet received the invitation from Elisabeth Borne, according to Laurent Berger
The CFDT is still waiting to receive the invitation from Elisabeth Borne for further discussions. “We did not receive the invitation”, confirms the general secretary of the CFDT, Laurent Berger.
“We would like to know if it’s to negotiate, to discuss or to blather. We will have a method requirement”, assures Laurent Berger.
“Down with the bad Republic”: according to Fabien Roussel, “we are doing a bad trial to Jean-Luc Mélenchon”
It is an understatement to say that Fabien Roussel is not a fervent supporter of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. However, the national secretary of the French Communist Party believes that “we are making a bad trial” of the leader of La France insoumise, after he declared “Down with the bad Republic”, on the sidelines of the May Day demonstrations.
He thus called for a Sixth Republic, as the rebellious have been doing for years.
The current Constitution “does not respect the people and democracy”, abounds Fabien Roussel. “The constitution must be changed, we must write a new Republic that respects the citizens”, enjoins the deputy from the North.
Invalidation of the shared initiative referendum on pensions: for Roussel, “the fight continues”
Even if the Constitutional Council has invalidated the second request for a referendum of shared initiative from the left on the age measurement of the pension reform, Fabien Roussel assures France Info that “the fight continues”.
“A very large majority of our fellow citizens are still opposed to this pension reform”, underlines the national secretary of the French Communist Party, considering that the Constitution of the Fifth Republic “gives all powers to the President of the Republic”.
“He succeeded in imposing a text which no one wants, which was not even voted on in the National Assembly”, he denounces. Fabien Roussel proposes in particular the withdrawal of 49.3 from the Constitution.
For the continuation of the battle for pensions, he looks, like the left, towards June 6, the day of the next inter-union mobilization, and June 8, the date on which the deputies of Liot present a bill for repeal the pension reform.
Laurent Berger (CFDT): “I tell you the battle is not over”
For the leader of the CFDT Laurent Berger, the fight against the reform is not over and he still hopes that the reform will not come into force.
“I tell you the battle is not over,” he told BFMTV.
The next mobilization day is scheduled for June 6.
According to Laurent Berger, the rejection of the RIP does not represent a “denial of democracy”
The procedure for using the RIP is “dowdy” and raises questions but it is not, in the words used by the CGT, a “denial of democracy,” said CFDT leader Laurent Berger on BFMTV.
His reaction comes after the rejection of a second request for a referendum on Wednesday by the Constitutional Council.
“Down with the bad Constitution”: Alexis Corbière calls for a 6th Republic
The rebellious deputy Alexis Corbière returns to the microphone of Europe 1 on the decision of the Constitutional Council to invalidate the second request for a referendum of shared initiative formulated by the left.
For him, “it says a lot about the urgent need to continue to demand retirement at age 64”. The elected representative of Seine-Saint-Denis cites as such the upcoming examination on June 8 of the Liot group’s bill to repeal the age measure of the pension reform.
Above all, the use of 49.3 by the government on this text and the two decisions of the Constitutional Council prove, according to him, that we must “move on to something else”. And therefore to a VIth Republic, a refrain sung by the rebellious for years.
Rather than using the expression “down with the bad Republic” by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the deputy chose another: “Down with the bad Constitution”.
