1. Elisabeth Borne closes on the 64-year-old, the unions inflated to the block for Tuesday January 31
Galvanized by the success of their first mobilization against the pension reform, the unions are calling for new massive demonstrations on Tuesday, January 31.
For her part, the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, guest of France Info, was firm on the postponement of the retirement age: “It is no longer negotiable, retirement at 64 and acceleration (of the extension of the contribution period) of the Touraine reform".
A statement that made the opposition jump.
Marine Le Pen (RN) warned the Prime Minister who "should not go too far" according to her, while Fabien Roussel (PCF) likened her statements to a "provocation 48 hours from the demonstration".
