In this April 9 issue of the Sunday Journal, Françoise Hardy spoke with an open heart and took a stand on the subject of pension reform. The singer did not go with dead hand and spoke without taboo.
This is the topical subject that has been at the heart of all conversations in recent weeks, even months. Pension reform, for which a large part of the French are against, and have decided to raise their voices against the government through multiple strikes, demonstrations and public degradations at times. This currently leaves France in a sorry state, especially Paris which is flooded with overflowing garbage cans and rats, who are having a blast.
These are the images that have been looping on the small screen lately. Dirty France, angry France, and misunderstood France. If certain personalities such as Brigitte Lahaie or even Francois Valery have decided to speak quite freely about their retirement at the microphone of the journalists, others have decided to take a stand on this burning subject. On this Sunday, April 9, it was Françoise Hardy, “not in very good shape”, who expressed her opinion in the Sunday newspaper.
Françoise Hardy “I am ashamed of what is happening”
It is therefore with frankness, as always, that Françoise Hardy, worried about Jacques Dutronc, spoke about the subject of the pension reform at the microphone of the Sunday newspaper: “I’m ashamed of what’s going on in a France that allows itself to be manipulated and misinformed by extremists from left or right: LFI, Nupes, Marine Le Pen. Repeated strikes aggravate the economic situation a little more with the transport problems they cause and which prevent people from getting to work normally”she confided before adding that strikes as well as material damage and violence are “tourist deterrents”.
It is therefore very clear that Françoise Hardy explained that she supported the pension reform: “I am interested in economic realities and I understood that there are several compelling reasons to carry out a pension reform. All European countries have set the retirement age at 65, 66 or 67, except ours, which has the highest public expenditure in Europe.she explained, before adding about her political opinion: “I do not feel right – especially at the moment – and even less left. I therefore appreciated that Emmanuel Macron arrived with his aspiration to overcome the binary divisions left-right, rich-poor. My three political personalities favorites will have been Raymond Barre, Michel Rocard and Hubert Védrinewho have always insisted on being in the reality of the facts”she delivered.
