“For the unity of the country, we need a law that brings together and not a law that risks turning into a passport for far -right populism.” Asked about pension reform Monday morning On France Inter, the former Minister Marisol Touraine judged the postponement of the legal age of departure to 64 years “deeply unfair”, because “the raising of age weighs on those who started to work early”.

Marisol Touraine, who had called to vote Emmanuel Macron in the first round, points to three dead angles to the current text: the “work of the over 55s”, “the arduous work” and the “question of women”, which would lose the benefit of the contribution quarters granted for each child.

“I mean parliamentarians that they have immense responsibility. (…) If it is not changed, this law risks strengthening distrust in the country,” said the former Minister of Social Affairs and of health, by calling on deputies “to seize their political responsibility for future generations”.

“No one would consider that there is a decline if after the demonstration the government said” we reopen the discussion “”

Marisol Touraine, who denounces the risk of “nourishing populism of the far right” and the government “totem” of the 64 years, advocates compromise and negotiation with the various social partners. “To say that all the unions are opposed, it is not very satisfactory,” she justified.
