Laurent Berger, on the departure, leaves in testimony a book, which recalls the episode of the conflict on the pensions. From contempt to anger, “like a dedication to Emmanuel Macron”underlines the journalist on the set of 12/13, Thursday, May 18. “The future-ex-secretary general of the CFDT stirs up politicians and their vision of work. The one to whom some lend political ambitions, which he denies, does not go hand in hand”, explains Astrid Mezmorian. He portrays a miserable vision of the left that confines workers and regrets that the question of the meaning of work has been missing in the debate on pensions.

A special site against the pension reform

We are not done with pensions, because a website has just been published, launched by the unions, entitled Until withdrawal. “The challenge is to encourage parliamentarians to vote for the repeal of the pension reform on June 8”, notes the journalist. All you have to do is enter your postal code to receive the list of e-mail addresses of the deputies in your department and a pre-written text to send to them.

On the left, trouble is piling up for LFI MP Carlos Martens Bilongo. “The elected representative of Val d’Oise would have benefited until January 2023 from social housing, sublet to his sister, while he already owned two apartments”, reports Astrid Mezmorian. Nothing illegal according to him, but he is also the subject of a preliminary investigation for tax evasion, money laundering, misuse of corporate assets, and failure to report to the High Authority for the transparency of public life, following a report from Tracfin, cell attached to Bercy. For information, the dates of the next European elections have fallen, they will be held from June 6 to 9, 2024.
