This Tuesday, the inter-union calls for a 14th day of mobilization against the pension reform. Two days before the examination of the proposal to repeal the Liot group in the Assembly, the employee organizations want to believe in a burst of mobilization, which could be the last.
World War One ? In any case, this is the scenario that is looming about the 14th day of mobilization against the pension reform which will take place this Tuesday, at the call of the inter-union. If the latter wants to believe in a burst of mobilization, she has no illusions as to the outcome of a fight which seems almost lost.
Tuesday will probably be the last stand of the movement. “We don’t have a lot of additional resources on the question of pensions. It’s true, we have to look things in the face. But this is not at all the field of the swan of the inter-union”, assures Simon Duteil, delegate general of the Solidaires trade union.
Article 40 should be used in the Assembly on Thursday
The intelligence forecasts a mobilization in decline with 400,000 to 600,000 demonstrators according to information from Europe 1. Strikes will however be carried out in several sectors, in particular among electricians and gas as well as in rail and air transport, with a third of flights canceled from Paris-Orly.
This Thursday, the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, should use the famous article 40 of the Constitution to block the vote on the repeal of the reform. And thus put a definitive end to the parliamentary sequence, less than three months from the start of the application of the reform, on September 1st.
