While the executive and the government must take a decision this week concerning the pension reform, which divides even within the majority, the oppositions are against any passage in force.

"The budget by 49.3, I consider that as an admission of failure", thunders the Insoumis Éric Coquerel on Europe 1.

The specter of the 1995 strikes stirred up by Éric Coquerel.

L'Insoumis, chairman of the finance committee of the National Assembly, reacts to the dreaded pension reform which must be voted on soon as part of the 2023 budget. Emmanuel Macron, Élisabeth Borne, the leaders of the majority and the ministers concerned meet Wednesday evening on the subject.

However, all the oppositions including La France insoumise are against a forced passage of the reform.

"The budget by 49.3, I consider this as an admission of failure", thunders Éric Coquerel at the microphone of Europe 1. "The 49.3 on pensions, there will be a major social movement", warns the rebellious deputy.

The three reasons for a possible large-scale social movement according to Coquerel

Éric Coquerel continues his demonstration: "Firstly because it is something that is going very badly: 70% of the public is against this reform. Secondly, all the unions, including the CFDT, are upwind."

The chairman of the finance committee of the National Assembly adds a "third reason": "A social movement often feeds on its anteriority. Outside, the social movement on pensions did not lose the last time."

For the rebellious deputy, "there are all the subjects for us to have a social movement of the November-December 95 type, and I will not remind you how this period ended from a political point of view", mocks Éric Coquerel, referring to the renunciation of the government of Alain Juppé, Prime Minister at the time, on the reform.
