Paris (EFE) the 64 years.
This new day of demonstrations and strikes coincides with the release of a new poll that indicates that support for the mobilizations is not letting up in the country, despite having been going on for three months. According to the Ifop poll, 62% of the French support it.
This poll also indicates that the far-right Marine Le Pen is the one that emerges stronger from this crisis. 62% of those surveyed think so, with an advantage of about 20 points over the communist leader, Fabien Roussel (41%), and the leader of the country’s main union (CFDT), Laurent Berger (40%).
Le Pen, who would beat Macron in a new presidential attack (which will not happen because the current president cannot run for another term), has chosen to keep a low profile in this crisis, opposing the reform, but without making a fuss.
More than 250 demonstrations throughout the country
The unions have organized more than 250 demonstrations across the country that the police information services believe will be less massive than in recent weeks and will gather between 400,000 and 600,000 people.
Strikes will be felt once again, especially in public transport, but with less impact than in the recent past. 20% of high-speed trains (TGV), 80% of other long-distance convoys, 40% of regional trains and 25% on some Paris suburban lines have been cancelled.
Given the strike of a part of the air traffic controllers, the companies have had to cancel 20% of their flights tomorrow at the airports of Nantes, Bordeaux and Toulouse and it is also possible that there will be some delays.
The two largest airports in the country, Orly and Charles de Gaulle, have not foreseen cancellations or delays.
However, attention will be focused this time on the Constitutional Council and the consequences that its opinion may have.
The interpretation body of the Magna Carta has to say tomorrow if it validates -totally or partially- or not the controversial pension reform law, whose main axis is the delay of the retirement age from the current 62 years to 64.
In parallel, the judges must rule on the demand of the left to organize a Popular Initiative Referendum (RIP) that would open the door to a new nine-month battle to first get the support of 10% of the electoral body (some 4 87 million signatures) for that referendum to be held.
According to the Ifop survey, this option is the most desired among the French to get out of the political and social crisis, with 73%, ahead of a reformulation in the government (69%) and a dissolution of the National Assembly ( 61%), which would probably lead to early legislative elections.
