For Ségolène Royal, the pension reform is no longer due to the “macho ego” of the executive. The former socialist minister called on the government to seize the outstretched hand of Laurent Berger, the boss of the CFDT, to get out of the crisis.
"Of course [we must accept this outstretched hand], it is more than time besides", replied on France 2 the former presidential candidate of 2007. The secretary general of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, asked again on Sunday for the withdrawal of the pivotal age, an "unfair" and "unnecessary" measure, and proposed on France 2 "a conference on financing" of the pension system separate from the bill in preparation.
"Political brutality"
According to Ségolène Royal, "the pivotal age is something that was not in Emmanuel Macron's presidential program and that has nothing to do with this reform". And “the second proposal, which concerns the financing commission, is quite simply a request for the democratization of the process because what is catching today is the concentration of power in the hands of a few who decide for 60 millions of French people, "she added.
"This desolate state which is due to political brutality must end," insisted the former minister, again calling for the text to be withdrawn. "What we expect from the Prime Minister this morning is common sense and empathy for what is going on and it is to stop being on this macho ego which consists in say: we said it, we do it, ”she criticized. Asked to specify who she was targeting with this accusation, she appointed "the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Economy and the Minister of the Budget", ensuring that "they will not be humiliated by stepping back" .
