A few days before the first day of mobilization against the pension reform, it is difficult to know what the extent of the movement will be next Thursday.
But one thing is certain, the opposition parties are up in arms to try to bring down a government that Sébastien Chenu, vice-president of the National Assembly, deputy RN from the North, judges, "sadistic".
Refineries, energy, transport, public service … Many sectors plan to make their anger heard Thursday, on the occasion of the first mobilization against the pension reform.
A movement supported by Sébastien Chenu, vice-president of the National Assembly and deputy Rassemblement national du Nord, who denounces the "sadistic side" of the government.
"There is a little sadistic side in a suit, to say, what can we do even worse to the French who see their purchasing power impacted, inflation affected their portfolio, who are against the postponement of the legal retirement age?”, launched Sébastien Chenu, vice-president of the National Assembly, at the microphone of Europe 1 on Monday.

Guest of Europe Matin on Monday, Sébastien Chenu refutes the theory of the government which defends itself from a structurally deficit pension system to bring its new reform into force.
"Without reform, there will be 500 billion in additional debt over 25 years," said Gabriel Attal, Minister Delegate in charge of Public Accounts, in an interview with
the Sunday Journal
.
"The forecasts of the Pensions Orientation Council are quite clear. They say that the system is sustainable, that it can hold up! Our system is not in danger, our system has a structural deficit of 10 billion euros per year", replies the RN deputy from the North.
