From Marine Le Pen who judges him "totally disqualified", to the rebellious France who demands his resignation, the opposition condemned Sunday the new "oversights" of declarations of activities of the High Commissioner for Pensions Jean-Paul Delevoye.

"The suspicion of conflicts of interest with regard to Mr. Delevoye totally disqualifies him from continuing to embody this discussion on the future of the French and the future of their retirement", launched the president of the National Rally at the Grand Europe 1-Cnews-Les Echos.

With the pension reform brought by the government, "we are making a golden bridge for private companies, insurance companies, pension funds, which will binge" and "it is precisely on this subject that "there is a conflict of interest in the CV of Mr. Delevoye", judges Mrs. Le Pen.

The "Monsieur pensions" of the government admitted a few days ago that he had failed to declare his position as a voluntary administrator in an insurance training institute, Ifpass. He finally rectified this weekend his declaration of interests by declaring 13 terms, including 11 volunteers, ten more than in the initial version.

Mr. Delevoye also cumulated his governmental function with that, remunerated, of president of Parallaxe, an institute of reflection on education, cumulation which he had declared but which, he learned since, was not authorized .

"He forgets to respect the Constitution (on the prohibition of cumulation, note), he commits a criminal offense, he forgot 10 terms and the Prime Minister comes to tell us (that) he is in good faith, circulate he doesn’t there is nothing to see, "criticized the far-right leader.

On the left of the left also, the deputy LFI Alexis Corbière attacked on BFMTV to Mr. Delevoye, of which he claims "the resignation": "Let him go, with his project too" on pensions. "This man is a liar" and "his word is not credible".

Mr. Delevoye "has no choice but to resign", also demanded the deputy Régis Juanico (app. PS) condemning "these numerous serious irregularities" which "discredit the public word" of the high commissioner.

The head of government Edouard Philippe for his part estimated Saturday "that the good faith of Jean-Paul Delevoye (was) total".

"He made a mistake, he corrected it, he recognized it. He is absolutely not trying to hide anything", also judged Minister Julien Denormandie on Franceinfo on Sunday.

But "in a democracy it is not the Prime Minister who judges + the good faith + of his ministers. The separation of powers is a basic principle", according to PS number one Olivier Faure in a tweet. The Paris prosecutor asked Thursday for details from the High Authority for Transparency (HATVP) on Mr. Delevoye.
