  • Not to protest against article 49.3 of the Constitution, a good way not to risk catching the coronavirus?
  • This so-called advice is attributed to Aurore Bergé, LREM deputy for the Yvelines and spokesperson for the presidential movement, who also reportedly said: "Better to touch a lesser pension than not to be able to touch it at all." "
  • It is actually a fictitious, parodic (umpteenth) quote that some take seriously as it is taken out of context on social networks.

And one more. After Aurore Bergé considering withdrawing their right to vote from pensioners or Aurore Bergé accusing farmers of complaining about their low salary, a parody quote attributed to the deputy LREM des Yvelines is again taken for cash by some internet users.

According to a screenshot shared almost 2,000 times on Facebook, the spokesperson for La République en Marche thus called not to demonstrate against the use of article 49.3 of the Constitution by the government on pension reform "Under penalty of contracting the coronavirus" and declared, during the same interview: "I invite the French to be reasonable, it is better to receive a lesser pension than not to be able to touch it at all. "

With, as an illustration, a photo of Aurore Bergé at the microphone of Europe 1, and a very critical comment: “The winning duo of La République en Marche. After Marlène Schiappa's regular road trips, here is her moron and acolyte Aurore Bergé who does the same. Another 2 libraries in the world who committed suicide because of them. "

FAKE OFF

However, as in the great majority of political quotations never pronounced but yet taken seriously, these invented words originate from the parodic Twitter account "Journal de l'Elysée". And more precisely a tweet posted on March 2, carrying, in the account title, the mention "parody". This clarification was however purposely removed from the screenshot that went viral on Facebook.

The original tweet uses, as an illustration, the screenshot of an interview with Aurore Bergé on Europe 1 on December 19, 2019, during which the elected official spoke in particular about the replacement of Jean- Paul Delevoye by Laurent Pietraszewski on the issue of pension reform.

Laurent Pietraszewski, successor to Delevoye, qualified by the CFDT Auchan as "hypocrite, bad guy, who fires at all costs"

Regularly targeted by parodic remarks, Aurore Bergé indicated to 20 Minutes , last year, her desire to file a complaint against Internet users who "knowingly" broadcast this type of content, which she says poses "a real question of democracy".
