President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that his highly contested pension reform was necessary and should come into force by the end of the year, during a television interview on TF1 and France 2.
This reform is necessary. it does not please me, I would have liked not to do it, but it is also for a that I made the commitment to do it, declared the Head of State, wishing it to come into force by the end of the year so that 1.8 million withdrawals begin to be increased by around 600 euros per year on average.
The President of the Republic, who is facing ever more sustained political and trade union protest since the adoption of the pension reform by 49.3, also considered that the project of all the oppositions and all those who oppose the reform is the deficit, which he compared to a magic formula.
What is the deficit?, asked Emmanuel Macron. It means, in effect, that you choose to make your children pay because, today, you refuse to decide with clarity and courage, he continued.
While new rallies were organized on Tuesday evening against the reform in several large French cities, the scene for some of them, including Paris, of tensions between the police and demonstrators, we cannot accept either the rebels or factions, argued the head of state.
When the United States of America lived what they lived on Capitol Hill, when Brazil lived what it lived (…), I tell you very clearly, he supported, by denouncing groups that use violence among demonstrators. We will not tolerate any overflow, he warned again.
Reproduction forbidden.
