The social conflict linked to the pension reform continues in France. On the one hand, Emmanuel Macron advocates appeasement, Elisabeth Borne consults, but on the merits, no concession. On the other, the unions are calling for the withdrawal or at least a pause in the reform.
Elisabeth Borne consults, Monday, March 27. The Prime Minister is called upon to enlarge the majority, but with what leeway? By the very admission of Laurent Marcangeli, patron of the Horizons deputies, invited to theElysium, the mission turns out to be more than delicate. Not to mention that the head of government has undertaken to no longer use article 49.3, except on budgetary texts.
The government relies on the Constitutional Council
Another way out, a withdrawal of the text, which would echo the scenario of the first hiring contract. In 2006, up to three million people took to the streets. A maximum pressure which will lead the government to yield two months after the vote of the law. Former Socialist MP Razzy Hammadi remembers a tipping point. “These are not not the mobilizations and demonstrations that made them bend. It’s the fear of tragedy”, he testifies. For now, the government is relying on the Constitutional Council, the ultimate arbiter of this reform. The Elders have three options before making their decision within three weeks: validation, partial censorship or rejection of the text.
