Guest of the morning of Europe 1 this Friday, Jean-François Copé returned to the need to adopt the pension reform. The Mayor of Meaux recalled the positions of his party Les Républicains, before deploring the decision-making of the right which led, according to him, to his non-re-election as head of France.
In the aftermath of the national mobilization against the pension reform, Jean-François Copé reacts to the microphone of Europe 1. Guest of the morning show this Friday, the mayor LR of Meaux spoke about the policy of his political party. The opportunity to look back on these last five years, which saw François Hollande (PS) then Emmanuel Macron (Renaissance) come to power. “If the right had done what it was elected for, it would have been re-elected,” lamented the former president of the UMP.
“We have not been in power for 10 years and there are many reasons for that,” added the former MP.
A call to raise wages
The Republican pleads for the application of a pension reform. “We are living longer, we are entering working life later,” he said. “We can’t keep a legal starting age that low. Look at what’s happening in other countries in Europe. They’re at 65, 66, 67.”
Jean-François Copé wants to reconcile the French with work. The mayor of Meaux called for the “revaluation of work” through wages. “Behind all this there is substantive work,” he pleaded. “A job of revaluing work by all means. Remuneration remains the key to many things.” The elected official called for “forcing the hand” for “the interest of the French and the new generations”, calling for no backtracking.
