A few days after the large union mobilization against the pension reform which brought together nearly 1.2 million French people, Jordan Bardella, president of the National Rally and European deputy, was the guest of the Grand Rendez-vous d'Europe 1 /CNews/Les Echos on Sunday.

Should the pension reform bill be submitted to a referendum as indicated by the president of the National Rally Jordan Bardella at the microphone of Europe 1 this Sunday?

Guest of the Grand Rendez-vous d'Europe 1 / Cnews / Les Echos, the MEP spoke out against a reform that he considers unfair.

Faced with "difficult and uncertain times, popular mobilizations in the streets and the risk of blockage", Jordan Bardella called on the government to submit this bill to a referendum.

"We submit it to the opinion of the French people who are mature enough, big enough to understand what is going to happen with this text and to understand that this text will have a direct impact on the way of working, on the longevity of its career," he said.

"It's a way to put this text up for debate and come out on top," he continued, adding that it was also one of the ways to avoid probable future blockages.
