It is to "amplify the mobilization and the strike" against the pension reform that the CGT, FO, the FSU, the CFE-CGC, Solidaires, the UNEF and the UNL call to demonstrate Saturday, January 11, only two days after the mobilization day of 9.

In a press release published on Friday, January 3, the intersyndicale denounces "a government that is playing on the mud" and calls for the withdrawal of the plan for a universal regime. On January 9, in the evening, another inter-union meeting will be held to decide on the consequences of the movement.

"There is no reason to stop the mobilization!", Explained Yves Veyrier, secretary general of FO to AFP. "The priority is Monday, we have to widen as much as possible," he added, so that the week of mobilization resumes with fanfare after the two weeks of vacation when the strike continued in public transport.

"We have little hope for the discussions on the 7th"

According to the union official, who will go to the Ministry of Labor on Tuesday 7 January for the multilateral meeting devoted to the arduousness and the employment of seniors, "there is something to be grinded on other than the points scheme".

For Eric Beynel, spokesperson for Solidaires, who was not invited on Tuesday, as well as the FSU, "the government is playing rotting." "There is little hope for the talks on the 7th" and "the situation is far from being calmed down," he added.

"During his vows, the President of the Republic confirmed that he hears nothing, simply repeating the same statements that have not convinced anyone for two years," write the organizations in their press release.

Since the start of the mobilization, which began on December 5, this is the first time that the intersyndicale has called a demonstration on a Saturday, even if demonstrations are already held on Saturdays, at the call of departmental or regional unions.
