All the way. Present in the procession of demonstrators in Marseille this Saturday, Jean-Luc Mélenchon repeated his determination to bring down the government's pension reform project. "We have to find a way out, so we will find one by force," he said.
"Mr. Macron leaves no other possibility to anyone than to be in this frontal report, well we are frontal and we hope that in a few days, he ends up understanding that it can not last like this," pleaded the former LFI deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône, alongside Manuel Bompard.
"We need a democratic exit"
"This week, the text should return to the National Assembly, and we will reach a kind of summit in the confrontation with the government," he insisted. JLM thus recommends "that we move towards a consultation of the people themselves (by referendum), so that we decide".
"In a democratic country, there must be a democratic way out of an impasse that has been created by the government itself," he insisted, believing that the head of state had "brutalized" the Assembly and the Senate. "There is an art of governing and it is something else than running a bank, as Mr. Macron once did," said the leader of the Insoumis, regretting "the will (of the head of state) to assert a kind of domineering temperament".
