DIRECT. Pension reform: “Almost all the organizations have responded favorably” to the invitation of Elisabeth Borne, announces number 2 of the CFDT

Finally the resumption of dialogue on pension reform? The inter-union is expected next week in Matignon, before a new day of mobilization against the text, Thursday, April 6. The date of this meeting with the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, “is clearly looming on Wednesday” April 5, said Wednesday evening on BFMTV the number 2 of the CFDT, Marylise Léon. “We are expected in the inter-union” And “almost all the organizations responded positively”, she added. Matignon has not yet confirmed the date of April 5 at this stage, specifying that it has not yet received all the answers. For Marylise Leon, “the challenge is to seize this outstretched hand”because “It was an aberration that neither the Prime Minister, nor the President, nor even the Minister of Labor wished to meet the intersyndicale”.

Uncertainty about the presence of the CGT. Within the CGT, voices were raised against the meeting on Wednesday, believing that responding to Elisabeth Borne’s invitation would be “a waste of time”. The union is in full congress, and the name of its new or its new general secretary must be known on Friday.

What discussions between Matignon and the unions? On Wednesday on franceinfo, the secretary general of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, insisted on his desire to put the mediation proposal on the pension reform back on the table, as well as the question of postponing the legal retirement age to 64. . The Minister for Relations with Parliament, Franck Riester, and the president of the MoDem, François Bayrou, however warned on Wednesday that this question would not be on the menu. “The 64 years are in the text”underlined François Bayrou, “we can’t change lines at this point”.

The Constitutional Council will make its decisions on April 14. The Elders announced on Wednesday that they would make their decisions on the pension reform on April 14, as well as “on the referendum initiative”, that is to say the referendum of shared initiative (RIP). The members of the Constitutional Council may decide to validate the entire text or to censor all or part of it.
