Cuts in connection with their position on pension reform
“Friday morning, when we woke up with my wife, we noticed that we had no more power supply, before realizing that we were the only ones in this situation around us”, declared this Sunday to AFP the Senator UDI Alain Cigolotti, confirming information from the regional daily Progress.
“When I discovered that the day before my energy supplier EDF had sent a cut-off order to Énedis, I made the link with the debate on pension reform”, he specifies.
A CGT representative from the Energy sector confirmed the terminations of these two senators, in particular “because they have positioned themselves for the end of the special regimes, including that of the IEG (Electric and Gas Industries)”, adding that “other situations identical took place at the national level”.
“Inadmissible to mix legislative life and personal life”
“As a senator, I did not vote for article 7 (note: which postpones the retirement age to 64) because I believe that we have other means of achieving this reform” , assures Alain Cigolotti.
“But we are dealing with people who are not informed (…) who are diehards in a purely union approach”, he denounces.
For him, “it is unacceptable to mix legislative life and personal life”. “I could have had young children or sick people connected to electrical equipment in my home,” he adds.
A senator filed a complaint
The senator said he wanted to file a complaint next Monday for identity theft and non-provision of a service due to political opinion or union activity, pointing out in passing the “security flaws in the system”.
He adds that his college senator LR Laurent Duplomb filed a complaint for the same facts after having been “victim of a wild termination of his electricity and gas supply contract which he had subscribed to with TotalEnergies”.
Other targeted and temporary voluntary power cuts have been carried out in recent weeks and claimed by the CGT as part of the mobilization against the pension reform project.
