“We reject the multiplication of these monarchical exercises aimed at circumventing the debate organized in its constitutional forms (…). This is why we will not participate in this new communication exercise. We will continue to bring our proposals to Parliament”writes LFI.
“We observe that the President of the Republic’s work on a possible reform of the referendum gives pride of place to the proposals of the right and the extreme right but rules out any possibility of consulting the French on pension reform”notes LFI.
