Paris (AFP)
France "is in tension as [it] has rarely been", was alarmed Sunday the president of LR Christian Jacob in the context of the tensions which accompany the mobilization against the pension reform.
"The social climate is worrying. The country is in tension as it has rarely been," said Mr. Jacob at the Europe 1 - Les Echos - CNEWS Grand Rendez-vous, adding that "nobody can condone acts of violence, forced intrusions. "
The deputy of Seine-et-Marne was questioned about the exit to the theater of Emmanuel Macron disturbed by demonstrators Friday, the same day that an intrusion took place at the headquarters of the CFDT, union found guilty by part of the left to have embarked on the path of a compromise with the government on pension reform.
While the resumption of work is looming in the metro, after 46 days of strike, Christian Jacob believes that "it is good news that the strikes end, that Ile-de-France and all French people can circulate, but (that) it doesn’t take away the tension that you feel everywhere. "
The boss of the Republicans, who "shares the point of view of the President of the Republic to sanction violent acts", believes however that "the government bears responsibility for this permanent tension", and exercises "a certain form of arrogance, of contempt ".
