Faced with the pension reform, the opposition parties and their leader are standing up to try to bend the government and its bill.

When Marine Le Pen hopes to unite the revolt against the executive, the Nupes wants to launch its mobilization during a meeting organized on Tuesday evening. 

On each side of the opposition, the political parties are organizing to try to roll back the government on its pension reform project, presented at a press conference last Tuesday by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne.

On the side of the National Rally, the president of the party in the Assembly Marine Le Pen, hopes to unite the revolt against the executive.

The one who embodies the question of purchasing power in the public debate since the presidential election, where she had gathered nearly 41.5% of the votes in the second round, was in the Marne this Saturday.

To be the only alternative to Emmanuel Macron

The former president of the National Rally took advantage of this trip to launch her offensive against a pension reform which "will not be able to convince", she judges.

"I don't know if there will be a major mobilization, but what is certain is that a large majority of French people are totally opposed to it".

According to her, "the more the debate will focus on pensions, the more the French will understand that they are truly cheated with this reform." 

Marine Le Pen intends to take advantage of the disorganization on the left to assert herself as the only credible alternative to Emmanuel Macron.

Despite its strong opposition to the reform, Nupes is currently in difficulty with the return of Adrien Quatennens to the Assembly on Wednesday and the divisions within France Insoumise.

Added to that the congress of the Socialist Party, the left-wing coalition wasted time against Marine Le Pen and was unable to put itself in battle order.

A common meeting of the left organized Tuesday evening must launch the mobilization, before joining the unions in the street next Thursday.
