The “conclave” intended to modify the reform of the 2023 pension is not “a failure” and “very important advances” were obtained, especially for the women’s career, said Prime Minister, François Bayrou.
During current problems in the Senate, the head of government, who consults social partners for two days, said he would announce on Thursday afternoon the results of the discussions that followed the four months of “conclave.” “It is wrong to think that the conclave, as it has been called, was a failure. On the contrary. And we will see that we hope in a few hours that were not the case,” said the prime minister in front of the upper room.
“The road exists not to lose anything of the advances that have been granted,” he continued. “I will work until tomorrow afternoon and tell the French what we can find as an agreement.” “And if there is disagreement, the government will decide,” he said. Matignon announced that the prime minister would give a press conference on Thursday at 5:00 pm
A motion of censure approved by the forces of the left
In the Senate, François Bayrou also had a word for parliamentarians in stating that if the commitment found included legislative provisions, they would be “subject to Parliament.” Prime Minister’s intervention responds to the uncertainties that prevail from the end, without agreement, of the discussions of the conclave on Monday night. Employers and unions have returned the responsibility of this dead end, which led Matignon to regain control when receiving one for one for representative organizations: CFDT, CFTC, CFE-CGC on the employee side, Medef and CPME Côté FEAST. Ovor Ouvrière, the CGT, the U2P and the Union of Craftsmen, have left the “conclave” along the way.
The issue of retirement age, which the reform increased from 62 to 64 years and that of arduity particularly encouraged debates. Without waiting for the result of Matignon’s discussions, the socialist group of the National Assembly announced its intention to present a motion of censure against the Government, which should be voted by other left groups. The approach has few possibilities of being successful to the extent that the national demonstration, the first opposition group, does not intend to vote.
