Adrien Quatennens, number 2 of La France insoumise (LFI), estimated this Wednesday that a "form of radicalization of the movement" against the pension reform "is inevitable since the government intends to use force" on its reform.

Asked about the power outages, the deputy for the North replied on Public Senate: "I hope that the mobilization will always be peaceful and peaceful, but the forms of action on which you ask my assent are inevitable from as long as the government intends to continue by force to impose a bill ”.

A “stubborn” government

"I do not condemn them", he added, even if, he said, "I for my part consider strategically that the condition of a favorable balance of power is that of numbers and that obtaining the threshold that allows for a balance of power by number requires forms of peaceful action ”.

CGT Energie claimed a major power outage in the Orly and Rungis area early Tuesday morning. "This form of radicalization of the movement is inevitable when the government intends to use force," insisted Adrien Quatennens, condemning "the government's stubbornness, its hard-line".

"Vote and shut up"

Edouard Philippe asked Tuesday, during questions to the government in the Assembly, that blockages, intrusions and "wild power cuts" to protest against the pension reform be "sanctioned".

"Wanting to block a certain number of sites, not respecting the law by breaking into such and such a private enclosure, carrying out savage power cuts, all of this is to disregard democracy, all of this is to disregard the law and all of this must be punished because it is not acceptable, "said the Prime Minister.

"When Edouard Philippe calls for democracy, well I repeat, democracy is not:" vote and then shut up for five years! "", Replied Adrien Quatennens. "The country is still in turmoil, the movement is not losing momentum and withdrawal is always the solution," he said.
