Thursday January 19 will be a day of massive strikes and demonstrations to protest against the pension reform. Several rallies are planned everywhere in France, at the call of all the unions including the CGT, the CFDT or even FO, to counter the announcements of Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne on January 10, which provides in particular for the postponement of the age legal departure at age 64.
Invited on BFM TV this Wednesday, January 18 on the occasion of his return to the stage, Michel Sardou spoke about these imminent strikes. And as often, the 75-year-old singer did not have his tongue in his pocket. “I am a little against this demonstration, not on the merits, because I think there is a misunderstanding between the French people and the State. But I am against paralyzing France. This is not useful at the moment, well that’s my idea. I’m not a politician I don’t care, I show up for nothing“, he said. Before adding: “But paralyzing France after having suffered the Covid, the yellow vests, it’s okay guys… And what scares me the most are the fights, the famous black things.“
A few minutes later, the septuagenarian also ranted against speed restrictions on French motorways. But also against the radars which deprived him of points on his driving licence. “And the radars they don’t care about the face of the world they take money. I got stuck there, by the way, seriously stuck. I had to go to school at 6 a.m. to listen to bullshit told by two teachers of I don’t know what to get my points back. I had to I had more points“, said the one then confessed to having been “gauler at 166 km / h”.Oh shit I was overtaking a guy who was at 110, don’t kid yourself…“, he concluded.
