Bad news for opponents of the pension reform. The mobilization is in sharp decline this Saturday. This is the second time that the unions have organized a mobilization on a weekend day to prevent the loss of wages on strike days. With average results.
The CGT announces more than a million people on the streets this Saturday compared to 368,000 people according to the Ministry of the Interior. Very far from the previous weekend of mobilization on Saturday, February 11. The unions then gave the figure of more than 2.5 million participants and Place Beauvau 963,000.
Next day of action on Wednesday March 15
The situation is not much better compared to the sixth day of the mobilization last Tuesday. The police headquarters had announced 1.28 million people and 3.5 million people according to the unions.
On the side of the inter-union, we are not giving up when a future day of mobilization is already scheduled for next Wednesday, the day of the joint joint commission that brings together deputies and senators to agree on a common version of the bill. .
At the head of the Paris procession, the trade unionists called on the President of the Republic on Saturday to “consult the people.” The centrals do not take off after the end of the inadmissibility of Emmanuel Macron who refused to exchange with them at the Élysée. Philippe Martínez, number 1 of the CGT, thus evoked his “arm of honor” to the social movement.
Towards a 49.3
For its part, the government hopes that the reform will be definitively approved after a chaotic parliamentary course, both in the Palais-Bourbon and in the Upper House.
The senators are expected to vote on the pension reform bill in the next few hours, after heated debates with the left. The bill should return to the Assembly on Thursday with a very likely 49.3 on the key. The executive should then have to face at least one motion of no confidence.
