Usually discreet in the media, Françoise Hardy gave herself up in the columns of the Sunday newspaper. Among other confessions, the singer spoke about the current social climate in France. “I am interested in economic realities and I understand that there are several compelling reasons to carry out pension reform,” she said, before castigating “repeated strikes” which “prevent many people to go to work normally and some of them even to work”.
While nearly 300 personalities from the world of culture signed a column in Liberation on March 22 calling on the government to withdraw the pension reform, the interpreter of Le Temps de l’amour assures that she would “surely not have it signed. Because for her, it is necessary for France to align its legal retirement age with other European countries, especially since “retirees are living longer and longer”.
“To tell you the truth, I am ashamed of what is happening in a France that allows itself to be manipulated and misinformed by extremists, left or right: the LFI, Nupes, Marine Le Pen, etc. “, does not hesitate to say Françoise Hardy, while recalling that she considers herself neither right nor left.
She also fears that the strikes will transform Paris and France “into tourist foils”, “not to mention all the violence and the many unacceptable material damages whose repairs are expensive”.
