INTERVIEW
A few days before the massive mobilization of 5 December against the pension reform, Adrien Quatennens, MP from the North of the Rare France, reacts on Europe 1. The MP hopes for a long mobilization for the government to concede on this reform, he criticizes. "What the government wants to do, behind the alibi of universality and equality, is to make everyone's pockets."
"The pension system is not imbalanced or in immediate danger for a reason," says the MP. "As the proportion of seniors has increased in the country, the resources allocated to pensions have been correspondingly increased and at the same time Emmanuel Macron is now making a break: he wants to freeze at 14% the share of wealth devoted to pensions, "he denounces. "We are going to be ever more numerous at the table and Emmanuel Macron tells us 'I will not cook a bigger cake.' The point system only makes it possible to cut smaller portions of this same cake".
"The reform will be passed that people will still not understand," says the MP. "If this reform is a progress why the government reassures saying 'it will not apply to you'".
