A hundred CGT trade unionists gathered in Marseille on Tuesday in front of the office of a member of the presidential party to put “
pressure
” on the government and force it to abandon its pension reform project.
Armed with flags and red chasubles with the CGT logo, the demonstrators stuck a few stickers on the walls of the office of Claire Pitollat, Renaissance deputy for the second constituency of Bouches-du-Rhône, who was absent because she was traveling to Paris to take part in the debates at the National Assembly, noted an AFP journalist.
“
We want to challenge the deputies and tell them that the mobilization continues.
We are not here to convince them but to put pressure on them and let them know that we will not give up,
” said Jessica Jadé, from the CGT Departmental Union of Bouches-du-Rhône.
"
These one-off initiatives make it possible to remain mobilized with actions in various and varied forms between two days of mobilization
", she added, two days before a new day of national mobilization, the fifth since the start of the protest movement. .

Faced with a government that remains deaf, you have to go up a notch and hit where it hurts, at the wallet, by blocking the economy
", engaged Yann Manneval, secretary of UD 13. He called for "
stop work on March 7 and 8 through renewable strikes
", so that the government "
throws away its unjust and brutal project
" and in particular the postponement of the legal retirement age from 62 to 64 .
For her part, Claire Pitollat reminded AFP that "
dialogue with union representation is important
", even if there is a difference "
of points of view and disagreements
".
