Artists can't take it anymore. For many months now, singers, actors and other entertainment workers have been protesting against the government. Everyone is annoyed with the measures taken to fight the Covid-19 pandemic with – in particular – the closure of so-called non-essential places such as cinemas, theaters and other concert halls. And among all these positions, Michèle Laroque challenged the President of the Republic for a completely different reason. Usually discreet, the actress took to Twitter on Monday, February 22, 2021, to return to a heated political debate : pension reform.
Captioning a photo of her with actor Thierry Lhermitte, with whom she plays a couple of grandparents harassed by her children in her upcoming film, she wrote: "Pardon? We're going to shoot Happy Retirement 2 ?! (But where are we with the reform ?? !!!)" A position to which some of his followers responded by deploring the vaccination campaign against the coronavirus. "It is going on with the effects of covid on the old! A few more months and vaccine delays and there will be no more problems !! In Nice it works super well on our white heads!?! "," In progress Michèle Laroque. COVID-19, vaccination, confinement in nursing homes ", can we read among the comments. Another admitted: "It's true, we should talk about it again in a year …".
Bruno Le Maire has not forgotten the pension reform
The health crisis seems to have put aside the pension reform promised by Emmanuel Macron. Despite the concerns of Michèle Laroque and the French, Bruno Le Maire tried to reassure them on February 13, 2021. Guest on the Apolline de Malherbe program on BFM TV, the Minister of Economy explained that the reform will be topical again "as soon as the economic crisis is behind us". So when "the economic machine will restart, that growth will return ", it will take "a pension reform".
Believing that the "reality has the hard life", Bruno Le Maire declared that there "a number of things that must remain in our broad political guidelines". "We have to make a diagnosis and collectively agree. Do we want to keep a generous and efficient social protection system? My answer is 'yes'. We all have to agree to work more, lhe current situation is not tenable and the French know it", he concluded.
Sorry ? We will shoot # JoyeuseRetraite2 ?!
