The answer is clear. In her wishes addressed to the press pronounced on Monday, Elisabeth Borne reacted to the amendment planned by the Modem deputies and which aims to revise the weekly working time upwards.
“The government has no intention of opening a debate on 35 hours,” the prime minister said.
35 to 35.5 hours
Elisabeth Borne was referring in particular to information from the figaro that the modern deputies want to present an amendment to return to the 35-hour week. Therefore, they would like to increase the weekly working time to 35.5 hours, in particular to finance the pension system.
“There is a lot of reflection and creativity within the majority and in particular in the Modem”, said the head of government between laughs.
“There are some French people who want to work more to retire earlier or earn more, this is the meaning of the universal time savings account, and I hope that discussions will resume quickly on this issue. I thank Modem for giving me the opportunity to remember this beautiful proposal,” he added.
Already “a construction site” in pensions
This measure was also dismissed by the government spokesman, Olivier Véran, this Sunday on BFMTV. “We’re not going back to the 35-hour system,” he said into our microphone.
“I would prefer not to open the weekly work time project when we are already in a project that concerns pensions”, he had completed like this.
According to le figaroThe idea is far from being unanimous in the ranks of the majority, at a time when several of Macronie’s elected officials have publicly announced that they cannot vote on the text of the pension reform.
