PS Mayor of Lille Martine Aubry denounced Emmanuel Macron and his majority of "amateurs" on Wednesday, saying that "inhumanity is on the march in all the policies" put in place by the President of the Republic.
"Mr. Macron said yesterday to his deputies + you are right to be amateurs + ... They are amateurs! And he is a man who, today, serves those who already have a lot of money", criticized RTL Mrs. Aubry, candidate for a fourth term at the head of the northern capital.
"He talks about + humanity + to his deputies, who are asked to vote as one man, because they did not understand that, when we lost a child, we needed a leave ... Inhumanity, it is on the march in all the policies it implements! ", She said.
Regarding pension reform, the former Minister of Employment and Solidarity recalled that she was "extremely worried from the start".
"Retirement is retirement insurance! Everyone must have the assurance of having a retirement and of being able to live on it" but today, "nobody knows what he will gain when he will be in retirement and everyone is worried in France. We don't know anything about the contribution period, the value of the point, "she said.
"We are changing everything, making those who were already the most disadvantaged even more," continued the former boss of the PS, referring to the situation of women, people working part-time or "strenuous jobs".
If "7 billion are missing per year from 2025", France "creates a wealth of 30 billion additional per year, can we not find there 7 billion?", She pleaded.
"When Mr. Macron removed the ISF and implemented a flat tax for income from stocks and bonds, it represented 5 billion," she added, also citing a study by the OFCE according to which, with the measures taken by the government, "5% of the richest French people earned 2,940 euros per year while the poorest 5% lost 240 euros".
"France is lost, divided, anxious and Mr. Macron is responsible for it," she added.
