Earlier, Macron gave the French TV channel the first interview with the adoption of the pension reform, which provides for an increase in the retirement age. The reform law was passed bypassing the parliamentary vote.
"He believes that it is possible to finance our social security and pensions only through deductions from wages. That's not how the system works. Either he does not know our system at all, and this is a very serious case, or he is just mocking us, "Martinez said on France Info, ria Novosti quoted him as saying.
According to Macron, the pension reform proposed by the government "will continue its democratic path" and should come into force before the end of the year.
He added that he is ready to sacrifice the rating in the polls for the sake of French interests against the background of public sentiment due to the pension reform.
