In an interview with the "JDD" Sunday, April 9, 2023, Françoise Hardy, whose word is rare since the announcement of her cancer of the larynx, reacted to the current political context. Unlike many personalities in the world of culture, the singer says she is in favor of pension reform and denounces "violence and material damage" during demonstrations.

Françoise Hardy is against the tide and she assumes it! While 300 personalities from the world of culture shouted their opposition to the pension reform wanted by Emmanuel Macron in a forum published in Liberation, the interpreter of How to say goodbye assured that she was in favor of the reform.

"All European countries have raised the retirement age to 65, 66 or 67"

"I am interested in economic realities and I understood that there are several imperative reasons to carry out a pension reform," she said Sunday, April 9, 2023 in the columns of the JDD. Thomas Dutronc's mother would therefore "certainly" not have signed the platform of her colleagues asking for the immediate withdrawal of the reform. "All European countries have put the retirement age at 65, 66 or 67, except ours whose public spending is the highest in Europe," argues the singer to our colleagues.

"A France that allows itself to be manipulated and misinformed by extremists"

Françoise Hardy, who claims to feel "neither right nor left - especially at this moment - and even less left", denounces the repeated strikes in France for three months now. "To tell you the truth, I am ashamed of what is happening in a France that allows itself to be manipulated and misinformed by extremists, left or right: the LFI, the Nupes, Marine Le Pen, etc.", says the artist who believes that these social movements "aggravate the economic situation with the transport problems they cause" and make the France a "tourist foil ".

"Not to mention all the violence and the many unacceptable material damages, the reparations of which are expensive," she added.

The star then admits to having voted for Emmanuel Macron for "the aspiration to overcome the binary left-right, rich-poor divides". Unlike Françoise Hardy, many stars such as Patrick Bruel, Vianney, SCH, Audrey Fleurot, or Adèle Haenel have made a rant against the pension reform and the policy of the President of the Republic.
