The postponement of the retirement age to 64, a measure against which more than a million French people mobilized, "
is no longer negotiable
", said Elisabeth Borne yesterday on Franceinfo.
A "
compromise
", continued the Prime Minister, "
necessary to ensure the balance of the system
".
Invited to Franceinfo on Monday, Fabien Roussel was indignant at the statement of the government's number one.
"
She provokes the French
," said the Communist deputy.
"It's disrespectful, it's calling into question not only democracy, parliamentary debate, but in addition, it's not hearing that three quarters of the
French people don't want it."
The elected representative from the North urges Elisabeth Borne to "
show that there are other choices than to push back the retirement age to repair the inequalities that exist today in our system
".
And to conclude, in view of the second day of mobilization which will take place on January 31:
“If the government chooses to force through its reform, it chooses to fracture our country.
I can't tell you what it will cause …
I fear the worst: the choice of social chaos is that of the Prime Minister who refuses to discuss.
