the boss of LR senators, Bruno Retailleau “outraged” by the CGT which wants to “bring the French economy to its knees”

Bruno Retailleau, boss of Les Républicains senators, said this Monday on France Bleu Loire Océan “besides” by the declarations of the CGT which wants “bring the French economy to its knees”. The secretary general of the CGT Chemistry Federation, Emmanuel Lépine, said he was ready to “bring the French economy to its knees” to make the government back down on pension reform.

“Isn’t the French economy on its knees enough? The most modest French people are not on their knees enough? There are deficits, public services that no longer work. There is also the high cost of living. What do they want these people more? To take the French at work hostage?he wondered.

“A group, because it has the power to blackmail, cannot block and take hostage all the French people”

The day of mobilization against the pension reform on Tuesday March 7 promises to be very popular in many sectors of activity. Bruno Retailleau says “don’t fear the street”. According to him, “the right to strike is important”but he “must be balanced with another right” constitutional, “equally important, the right to continuity of public services”, he explained. It is “the right to come and go, the right for the French to go to work”he explained.

In addition, the boss of the Republican senators denounced “the obstruction” of the left in the Senate while the text is under discussion in the upper house, even if he concedes that this “is going better than at the Assembly”. According to him, “Obstruction is in fact anti-parliamentarianism because Parliament is not a speaking group. What Parliament is about, its raison d’être, is the vote”he recalled.
