News from our instances
Since the General Assembly on 6 March 2023, the Volt France Board has welcomed two new members: Cécile Richard and Elise Magne. The Council of Regions has a new member, Owen Vassellerie, representing the North-East region.
In addition, the members of the Bureau met during a retreat organised in Bordeaux from 10 to 12 March 2023 in order to work on Volt France's strategy for the coming months and to prepare for the European elections in 2024. As these meetings took place in the South-West, Anne Camo was invited to represent the Council of Regions.
Our teams on the ground
Bordeaux, Lille, Paris, Evreux …against this pension reform
Our local teams went to demonstrate last month against the pension reform. As it stands, the reform proposed by the government is reduced to financial adjustments and places the bulk of the burden on the middle classes and the youngest, and particularly within these categories of the population, on women.
Learn more about our specific points of critique in our press release!
