Has the conflict escaped the executive? “It is not up to the government to take over social dialogue in a private company”recalls Olivier Véran. “If we intervened excessively, justice would have proven us wrong and we would have aggravated the situation”he adds.

The 49.3 used “probably tomorrow”

In the National Assembly, the government should use 49.3 to pass the budget, “probably tomorrow”, said the government spokesperson. Will the amendment for the increase on the taxation of superdividends be retained? “We are not going to break a tax dynamic on companies which has allowed us to lower unemployment to 7% and aim for full employment”, concludes Olivier Véran.
