Pension reform: “Whatever the decision of the Constitutional Council, the mobilization must continue”, considers Manuel Bompard (LFI)

Thursday April 13, Manuel Bompard, deputy and coordinator of La France insoumise (LFI), was the guest of “4 Truths” on France 2. While the decision of the Constitutional Council on the pension reform is expected on Friday, Manuel Bompard said that this decision, “necessarily, will prevail”. “Whatever the decision of the Constitutional Council, I consider that the mobilization must continue, because this text of law must not see the light of day”he added, however.

“We need the Nupes”

Asked about the reinstatement of Adrien Quatennens within LFI, suspended for four months after his conviction for domestic violence, Manuel Bompard said: “We have the right to forgiveness, to repair a fault when it has been committed” And “when you have served a sentence”. Reacting to the remarks of Fabien Roussel, National Secretary of the Communist Party, who declared that Nupes was “outdated”Manuel Bompard expressed his disagreement with the MP, stating: “I consider that Nupes is not conjugated in the past, so no, it is not outdated.“ “If we want to be an alternative in the face of a declining Macronism, in the process of internal explosion, (…) and on the far right, then we need the Nupes”he added.
