Sophie Binet, secretary general of the CGT, “demands respect for democracy” and negotiations, in particular on working conditions

At the microphone of BFMTV/RMCSophie Binet, secretary general of the CGT, said to ask “respect for democracy – it is very important that the National Assembly can vote on Thursday – and that finally the deputies can give their opinion on this reform”.

She refers to the bill of the Freedoms, Independents, Overseas and Territories (LIOT) group aimed at repealing the reform, which must be examined in session on Thursday. But the President of the Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, should draw article 40 of the Constitution – which prohibits parliamentarians from tabling amendments having the effect of reducing resources or increasing public charges – to declare inadmissible amendments aimed at restoring the key article of the LIOT bill, deleted in the law commission on May 31.

” If she [Yaël Braun-Pivet] prevented Parliament from voting again on Thursday, it would be extremely serious for the democratic situation in the country”estimated Sophie Binet.

Secondly, the secretary general of the CGT calls for “the opening of negotiations between the unions and the government on the concerns of employees, wages, working conditions, gender equality, etc. ».
