disagreements within the majority

Barely relaunched, and already decried. The pension reform divides even in the ranks of the majority. Sunday September 18, François Bayrou, close to Emmanuel Macron, warned against a forced passage to the National Assembly. “This is not how you make a big reform for a country”, estimated the president of the Modem on Europe 1. A method also denounced by the unions. Laurent Berger, the secretary general of the CFDT, said he could leave the negotiating table if there was no consultation.

Faced with trade unions on a war footing, the Minister of Labour, Olivier Dussopt, tried to reassure, but left doubts hanging over the method and the timetable. “It can be in October, as it can be in spring”he declared on France 3. Monday, September 19, the Minister of Labor must meet the social partners, with an always stated objective: to implement the pension reform as of next summer.
