no hope for a referendum on the pension reform .
During the last presidential election, the candidate Nicolas Sarkozy said without ambiguity: "the right to retire at age 60 should remain." Asked whether he would return to this law, he declared May 27, 2008 on RTL: "I said I will not. I did not mention during my presidential campaign. This is not a my commitment to the French. So I have no mandate for that. And it counts, you know, for me. "
Today, he refuses to withdraw the bill by saying that this is not the demonstrators to the streets to decide, as if the 39% vote by the UMP is the recent parliamentary elections represented a majority French. But it gives the people speak! In a democracy, only the popular vote that can defeat a vote of parliament did.
This would be the French if they want to say a decline in the age of retirement and especially an increase in the contribution period to 41.5 annuities for a retirement full rate.
For this, just as Nicolas Sarkozy submit its draft to a referendum after referendum the popular initiative, under the Constitution, has given rise to an application text ...
October 12, more than three and a half million of our fellow citizens were in the streets to say 'no' to pension reform promises to strike hard employees, and women first and workers. This reform, unfair and cynical has been no genuine negotiations with unions. It is imposed by one man, who at all costs, applies a command of the MEDEF, in defiance of popular mobilization, in defiance of national representation, deprived of any debate worthy of the name, and in defiance of his own campaign promise Do not touch the retirement age. Conversely, he wants to reverse a reform adopted by the people in favor of a leftward shift in 1981. Thus, without the slightest regard for the rules the most basic of democracy, that Nicolas Sarkozy wants to impose on our country an unprecedented social regression since the Liberation.
Faced with this denial of justice and democracy in the face of this political coup, and even though seven trade union confederations have said September 9 that "the vote of this project is no longer valid , the undersigned will vote in accordance with Article 11 of the Constitution for an immediate halt to the procedure of adoption of this bill and the calling of a referendum on it. They hear and force the president to open a debate that has continued to hinder and promote its citizens' ownership to a social choice informed and transparent. They call, in the same movement, the pursuit of popular mobilization, October 16 and after.
