the government has “already retreated so much that we don’t even know what remains to be negotiated”, believes Jean-François Copé (LR)

Monday February 6, the secretary general of the CGT, Philippe Martinez, said that the adoption of the pension reform would pose a “democratic problem”. “He misread his Constitution. We are not in a dictatorship, we are in a state of law, there is representative sovereignty”explains Jean-François Copé, LR mayor of Meaux (Seine-et-Marne), guest of the “4 Truths” of France 2, Tuesday February 7.

“The government is not doing very well”

The discussions promise to be tense, while the text arrives at the National Assembly. “The government is not doing very well. They have already retreated so much that we don’t even know what remains to be negotiated. There was a saving of 17 billion euros at the start which was to make it possible to perpetuate our system , with all the concessions we have come down to 10 billion euros, all of this makes less and less sense”develops the mayor of Meaux.
