Emmanuel Macron is firm

The government does not show the slightest sign of openness, while the mobilization against the pension reform continues. On the contrary, for a few hours, we have seen that the spikes are increasing, between the President of the Republic, from China, and the boss of the CFDT. In fact, the executive is bracing itself on what it calls respect for institutions, that is to say the legality of 49.3, and then the opinion of the Constitutional Council, which must deliver its opinion on April 14. .

It will take time to move on

According to another poll, Emmanuel Macron’s popularity rating has dropped by seven points. Within the majority, no one sees a way out of the crisis. The episode should leave traces. We see that the Head of State governs as in the first term, when he had an absolute majority. What will the rest of the quinquennium look like? The longer the blockage continues, the longer it will take to move on, to reconnect with the unions and push through other reforms deemed essential, explains France Télévisions journalist Arnaud Boutet.
