Two senators from Haute-Loire, Alain Cigolotti (UDI) and Laurent Duplomb (LR), were deprived of electricity after their energy supply contracts were terminated without their knowledge, according to parliamentary and union sources.
“Friday morning, when we woke up with my wife, we noticed that we had no more power supply, before realizing that we were the only ones in this situation around us,” the senator told AFP on Sunday
. Alain Cigolotti, confirming information from the regional daily
Le Progrès
.
"When I discovered that the day before my energy supplier EDF had sent a cut-off order to Enedis, I made the link with the debate on pension reform
," he said.
A CGT representative from the Energy sector confirmed to AFP the terminations of these two elected officials, in particular
"because they have positioned themselves for
the end of the special regimes
, including that of the IEG (Electric and Gas Industries)"
, adding that
" other identical situations have taken place at the national level”
.
“As a senator, I did not vote for article 7 (which postpones the retirement age to 64) because I believe that we have other means of achieving this reform, but we is dealing with people who are not informed (…) who are die-hards in a purely trade union approach”
, estimated Alain Cigolotti.
