Elisabeth Borne calms things down: in an article in the World published this Friday, the prime minister calls on the unions not to leave “not humiliated” from the sequence on pensions. “You have to be very careful not to rush things, you have to let them rest. The country needs appeasement,” the head of government also indicated.
Statements approved this Friday by Laurent Berger, guest of RMC and BFMTV: “The message” from the Prime Minister “is more respectful than the one that came to us from China”, said the head of the CFDT, referring to the statements of ‘Emmanuel Macron , who had refuted the expression “democratic crisis” used by Laurent Berger, believing that “words have a meaning, and if we abuse them, we bring out the extremes.”
“Appeasement Needed”
Laurent Berger also said that he “agrees” with Elisabeth Borne “on the fact that appeasement is needed.” “We need respect in the period of conflict that we are experiencing.”
However, the Prime Minister’s message “says nothing about pension reform and how it will happen for millions of workers.” “If we want to reach the end of appeasement, this reform must be set aside,” he added, specifying despite everything that Elisabeth Borne’s words that she said that she did not want to “humiliate the unions” were “more respectful” than those of Emmanuel Macron.
