An open letter to French President Emmanuel Macron, written by elected environmentalists, asks him to withdraw his text on the pension reform project in order to preserve the cohesion of the country and to cultivate fraternity. Elected environmentalists believe that this reform is unnecessary and unfair. It is against the will of the French.

Published a few days ago, the letter was signed by more than hundred environmental activists, of which among the first signatories we find Marine Tondelier, national secretary Europe Ecology Les Verts, Cyrielle Chatelain, president of the Ecologist Group at the Assembly national, David Cormand, Member of the European Parliament and Guillaume Gontard, president of the environmental group, solidarity and territories of the Senate.

Mr. President of the Republic,

We, elected environmentalists, are writing to you about the pension reform project that your government has presented. We will not develop further here the reasons why we consider, with the vast majority of French men and women, that this reform is useless and unfair. For long weeks now, the arguments have been exchanged and the positions of each other are known.

If we are addressing you after the important day of mobilization against this reform project of March 7, it is to ask you to finally fulfill your mission: that of bringing together French men and women, of preserving the cohesion of the country , to cultivate fraternity.

When you were elected on April 24, you indicated that you knew that “many of our compatriots voted for me today, not to support the ideas I hold but to block the far right”. And you added: “I want to thank them here and tell them that this vote obliges me for the years to come. I am the custodian of their sense of duty, of their attachment to the Republic and of respect for the differences that have been expressed in recent weeks. This is precisely the time to keep your commitment. You probably think you know better than the French what is good for them, but you can’t reform a country against its inhabitants.

Thanks to the spirit of responsibility shown by the trade unions, all united against this project, this massive opposition is characterized as much by its non-violence as by its determination. You would also be wrong to underestimate this determination of those who have been demonstrating for several weeks now, not only in a few large cities but throughout the country, several hundred processions each day of mobilization.

The unsuitable institutions of the 5th Republic certainly give you the means to force through to impose this reform against the advice of all the trade union organizations and the vast majority of French men and women. But if you choose to continue down this path, you will cause considerable harm to our country. By reinforcing the mistrust of the French people with regard to representative democracy, you feed authoritarian temptations, take on a heavy responsibility for the future and contribute to further fracturing our social pact.

Thus, Mr. President, we elected from the Nation and the territories, solemnly ask you, keep the promise you made on the evening of your victory, fulfill the wish you made for France on the evening of last December 31: that we are a united people. As you know, there is only one way to do this: remove your text.

We ask you to believe, Mr. President, in the expression of our republican feelings.
