The Humanity Day has become the scene of unusual debates between political leaders. Sunday September 17, Edouard Philippe faced Fabien Roussel.
One is on conquered ground, the other on hostile ground. The boos are reserved, Sunday September 17, for Edouard Philippe. When he set foot at the Festival of Humanity, he knew what awaited him. The former right-wing Prime Minister and the communist deputy speak informally to each other. IThey agreed on certain subjects, such as energy, industry and nuclear power. But when pension reform and the use of 49-3 are mentioned, divisions are felt.
Some people don’t like Philippe’s tone
However, Fabien Roussel calms things down. “I would like to pay tribute to Edouard Philippe who comes to assume a 49-3 and a pension reform, knowing that he is largely in the minority”, notes the communist deputy. In the assembly, some do not appreciate the tone of Edouard Philippe. “I find it totally inappropriate for him to say that pension reform is legitimate here, when we have been fighting for weeks”, says a person. In total, there was an hour of debate between the two.
