Is the majority cracking? While government spokesman Olivier Véran rejected this option, MoDem deputies in the National Assembly say they are in favor of the mediation proposed by the inter-union, Tuesday, March 28, on the tenth day of the strike against the pension reform. “If mediation is possible, we will encourage it”assured the centrist deputy Philippe Vigier.

“It’s good to have one or two people to try to find the dialogue and have a certain distance”underlined the president of the centrist group Jean-Paul Mattei during a press briefing at the Assembly. “A mediator does not interfere in the background, he is there to find the binder and manage to talk to each other, that’s what is important. You need someone who is not involved.”
“We must put on hold, on hold, the measure of 64 years”had called a little earlier Laurent Berger, the general secretary of the CFDT, on France Inter. According to him, “You have to take a month, a month and a half, to ask one, two, three people to do mediation, conciliation, to go and see the different parties and say: ‘What do you want?'” Laurent Berger said to himself convinced that it was still possible to “find a way out”.
But when leaving the Council of Ministers a few hours later, Olivier Véran, the government spokesman, closed the door to union leaders. “We don’t need mediation to talk to each other”he assured the press. In the presidential majority, the president of the Horizons group, Laurent Marcangeli, “does not see the point of appointing a third person to organize this dialogue”.
