Fight after fight: pension reform this Wednesday, and a broader budget in three weeks. The Secretary General of the CGT, Sophie Binet, confirmed this Wednesday, November 12, via the RMC /BFMTV microphone, the call for strikes and demonstrations on Tuesday, December 2 against the 2026 Finance Bill which overall is still very bad, according to her.
“We will be in decisive order budget discussion»explained the CGT leader. On this date, “It is vital that workers get involved so that the budget debate is brought under the pressure of mobilization, so that we can put this whole budget disaster to rest”he judged. According to Sophie Binet, there is something special “There has never been a budget for a hospital as large as that currently proposed”. The FSU and Solidaire also called for mobilization today.
Hours before the debate in the National Assembly on the suspension of pension reform, Sophie Binet also asked this Wednesday morning “barriers to (pension) reform for all generations”. “Today is the postponement of the proposed pension reform by vote, meaning 64 years, instead of being applied to the 1968 generation, will apply to the generation born in 1969»he developed.
“We ask” to the deputies “to change the copy”launched Montreuil power station boss. But unlike CFDT Secretary General Marylise Léon who on Tuesday called on deputies to vote for a suspension of pension reform, “we do not give voting instructions to deputies”he said again. Requested by socialists to prevent censorship of Lecornu’s government, the measure had to be approved in the afternoon of the first reading, even if the discussion was expected to become heated in left-wing circles.
To ensure a vote on the measure especially by socialist lawmakers, the government proposed an amendment on Wednesday morning that extends the benefits of suspending the 2023 reform to people with long careers who started work early and can stop working before the legal age.
“It is very important to reintegrate employees who have had long careers because they have been around for 20 years % of employees who do not fall into this gap”the CGT’s number one estimate described the suspension of reform as “violation of totem macronism”.
