Pension reform: after its rejection in the Assembly, Éric Ciotti believes that article 2 was an “alibi article” which was “nothing”

Éric Ciotti, president of the Les Républicains (LR) party, is the guest of “4 Vérités” on France 2, Wednesday February 15. He returns to the rejection of article 2 of the pension reform in the National Assembly, Tuesday evening, which concerned the creation of a senior index. LR deputies voted against this article or abstained. “We had decided in the group, in the morning, to vote against this article which is an alibi article and which, basically, is useless”explains Eric Ciotti.

Immigration bill criticized

The President of the Republicans justifies this decision by the fact that this senior index “mobilized small business opposition” and “it was undoubtedly an unconstitutional provision since it had nothing to do with a social security financing bill”. “Most importantly, she was wearing neither restraints nor inducements”concludes Eric Ciotti. The President of the Republicans also indicates that he is against the government’s immigration bill, because “there is no will to stop the explosion of legal and illegal immigration” And “to expel more strongly”.
