The pension reform continues to make noise nearly a week after its promulgation. The pots and pans are out during the various trips of the President of the Republic on the ground this week to reconnect with the French.
"Pension reform is Emmanuel Macron's pot. And if this reform is not withdrawn, Emmanuel Macron will have a hell of a pot, because this pot it will prevent him from finishing his five-year term, "said Sophie Binet, the new secretary general of the CGT, Thursday, traveling to Gardanne (Bouches-du-Rhône).
"A man locked in his Elysée Palace"
She was asked about the statements of the head of state on Wednesday, who had assured that "it is not pots and pans that will advance the France", during a trip to Alsace, during which he was heckled by opponents of his pension reform. "We can not govern a country against its people," continued the new number 1 of the CGT, considering that the current situation was "a dead end between almost the entire population and a man locked in his Elysée Palace".
"When we are in a situation of impasse like this, the solution of wisdom is simple and democratic, we come back to the population, we vote and we see if the citizens want this reform or not," she continued, referring to a referendum. "Free the pots," said Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
