Pension reform: the meeting between Elisabeth Borne and the inter-union, “a first step to reconnect with the unions”

Elisabeth Borne will receive the inter-union from 10 a.m., Wednesday April 5. Journalist Christelle Méral, live from Matignon (Paris), explains that, for the Prime Minister, “It is very important to receive the inter-union, first of all not to be perceived as the one who refuses dialogue, while millions of people have been demonstrating for two and a half months. And then there is the desire to show that political life continues despite the 49.3″.

A meeting that could be short

Can this meeting lead to progress? “It’s not sure. On the one hand, Elisabeth Borne will listen to the unions, but she does not want a break in the reform, which is currently being examined by the Constitutional Council. He is due to make his decision on April 14. So there is no withdrawal from the reform. On the other side, there is the inter-union which refuses retirement at 64 years old. Under these conditions, the meeting might not last very long. But for Elisabeth Borne, it is a first step to reconnect with the unions, and then, she hopes, to relaunch social dialogue.concludes Christelle Méral.
