EDF CEO Jean-Bernard Levy assured this Sunday that "80 or 90 complaints" had been filed "where there were power cuts" during the mobilization against the pension reform that began on December 5.
"Power cuts must be condemned, the French have the right to have electricity permanently," said Jean-Bernard Levy on Europe1 / CNews / les Echos, adding that "some of these cuts have hit homes retirement, clinics, hospitals ”.
Systematic complaint
"EDF's complaint is systematic," he added, noting that the cost of strikes, cuts, blockages and reduced charges had been "absorbed inside (the) accounts" of the group. .
Asked about the current situation, after more than two months of social movement, he explained that "the time has come for concertation to accompany the discussions that are currently taking place in Parliament on the law on pensions".
A doubly special diet
He recalled that EDF currently benefits from a "special retirement plan, twice special: because it is not the general scheme and because it does not cost the French anything." According to him, this plan is “balanced, neither surplus nor beneficial”.
"The company pays each year the difference between the general regime and the special regime," he added, wishing to "extend this system".
The bill transforming the pension system into a universal points system arrives in plenary session at the National Assembly on Monday. The Intersyndicale CGT-FO-FSU-Solidaires, which calls for its withdrawal, called for a tenth day of interprofessional action on Wednesday.
