Resume the dialogue. The inter-union could have closed the door on the meeting with Elisabeth Borne this Wednesday morning, Emmanuel Macron “will see the unions” after the decision of the Constitutional Council on the pension reform on April 14, according to his entourage with BFMTV.
“Can we expect it to be a success? No, but at least the positions have been expressed, on pensions and others. Now the text must finish its democratic path,” deciphered a relative of the president, currently traveling in China.
A helping hand after weeks of rejection
The central unions described the meeting with the Prime Minister as a “failure”. Faced with his refusal to withdraw the pension reform, all unions left the negotiating table.
But the Head of State wants to believe in the resumption of dialogue. However, the talks are stalled between the Élysée and the social partners. At the request of the unions to be received “urgently” by Emmanuel Macron at the beginning of Marchthe president opposed end of inadmissibility.
Unions that do not want to back down
Since then, the pension reform has been approved without a vote in the National Assembly by 49.3 while the mobilization continues in the streets. The government now counts on the Constitutional Council to calm the current political crisis.
He hopes that the Elders validate at least the essentials of the law, including the passage to 64 years. Enough to allow the president to quickly promulgate the text in the Council of Ministers and therefore hope to turn the page.
But the CGT has already warned: even if the institution validates the reform, “we will continue to mobilize,” warned the confederal secretary Marie Buisson in France Info. “As long as the law is not promulgated, mobilization remains possible,” said Marylise Léon, general secretary deputy of the CFDT. Suffice it to say that a future meeting between Emmanuel Macron and the unions would in no way herald the end of the battle.
