The first secretary of the PS, Olivier Faure, accused Tuesday in the National Assembly the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt of having “denied” his progressive convictions by carrying the pension reform project, the latter accusing him in response of having “sold out social democracy to the extreme left”.
Mr. Dussopt, I knew you at another time, when you effectively defended the French who started working early. You defended those who get up at dawn in the morning, take the RER or bus, those who empty our bins, those who are forklift drivers, caregivers, etc., those who actually had only you to defend them and you have forgotten them, attacked the deputy of Seine-et-Marne during the session of questions to the government, in reference to the socialist past of the minister.
You are today among those who are going to defend a bill where those who started working between the ages of 14 and 20 will have to contribute for 44 years while all the others will only have to contribute for 43 years. (…) I am not in your head or in your skin, but I am ashamed for you, ashamed of what you are defending today, ashamed to see that you have denied all of your projects, he continued.
Deputy Faure (…) the effects of the round do not work, the trials for treason I am immune, especially when they come from those who sold social democracy to the extreme left to save their seats, replied the Minister of Labour.

You defend retirement at 60 with 43 annuities, you are going to impoverish pensioners, you are in the wheel of rebellious France, you are being walked over by Jean-Luc Mlenchon, he added, sending Mr. Faure back to his congress , while the latter is fighting to be re-elected as head of the PS.
