A statement that is likely to make people talk. In the midst of a political storm over pension reform, Bernard de la Villardière does not hesitate to share his thoughts, at the risk of dividing. Not really accustomed to the language of wood, the emblematic presenter ofM6 once again showed frankness during his time at South Radio this Sunday, March 19. In particular when he gave his opinion on the use of legislative weapon 49.3 by Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne to force through a divisive reform. And above all, the reaction of part of the French following this.
Indeed, this Thursday, March 16, after several weeks of demonstrations, discontent, and threats, Élisabeth Borne did not finally abdicate and had her pension reform adopted, which pushes back the retirement age to 64. years. An announcement that angered some of the French. Just hours after the Prime Minister’s announcement, many citizens took to the streets to shout their displeasure. Actions that Bernard de la Villardière does not really understand.

The French, lazy people for Bernard de la Villardière?
The presenter of“Exclusive inquiry” was indeed the guest of Judith Beller on South Radio this Sunday, March 16 on his show “It’s excellent”. The journalist has traveled a lot for his many reports. And this allows him to compare the situation in France with certain countries. “When I come back here to France, it’s true that I’m a little… when I see that we are demonstrating against the pension reform and that people are whining because they are going to work two more years… I think that I’m a little desperate”he said frankly.
He who imagines himself an actor has pursued and taken the example of others “problems” in the world. “Because there are so many things to do today in the world!”he laments before revealing: “You know that there is a figure that the International Labor Office says that the average half of the working time worked in the week in the world is 60 hours. We are at 35… we are very very far”. A way of making it understood that, according to him, the French are perhaps not the best placed to complain. An opinion that engages only him, but which will perhaps not be joined by everyone.
