The formula speaks for itself… It is reported by The Parisian : “ Gamberging on how Emmanuel Macron could manage to get out of the crisis in which his pension reform has bogged him down, one of his faithful ends up curling the slip : ”It is necessary, he says, to leave by the bottom”. Formula to be understood, of course, as the imperative need to find robust solutions in the face of the double blockage, political and social. But one cannot help thinking that these words also betray the haunting anxiety, relief Le Parisien, which attacks the troops of the president, while the inter-union called for a new day of mobilization on April 6. »
How to get out ? Well, we’re in the fog “, summary Le Figaro. “ One can gloss at will, resignation or not, the hostility to this pension reform has revealed a deep malaise in the country. It will be difficult to get out. »
Moreover, underline The echoesthat everyone sticks to their positions : Laurent Berger proposes mediation but without moving on the substance (on the retirement age). The executive evades the request, “ says it is ready to receive the unions, but without moving on the substance. On the 10th Day of Action Against Pension Reform, the helping hand roleplay continues, and the real tussle continues. »
Follow the CFDT?
And some newspapers this Wednesday morning, like South Westbelieve that the government must follow the path proposed by the CFDT…
“ The break and the mediation proposed by Laurent Berger are an opportunity to get out of the crisis, an important gesture since the leader of the CFDT is not calling for outright withdrawal. A break, the necessary time for appeasement, before the decision of the Constitutional Council, which must take place in two to three weeks. (…) Each passing day, continues Sud-Ouest, which sees the movement getting bogged down and hardening, makes the exercise more delicate. The government should therefore in no way bet on the deterioration or reversal of public opinion caused by the violence and degradation. Refusing the pause and rejecting the mediation amounts to choosing the impasse. Stubbornness at this stage of the conflict is dangerous. »
Missed meeting between Macron and the youth?
Tuesday, “ despite declining figures, the 10th day of mobilization brought together widely across the country. The protest was particularly invigorated by the involvement of young peoplepoint Liberation, struck by the use of article 49.3 and by police violence. »
Release which emphasizes the missed meeting of Emmanuel Macron with the youth. (…) Rien does not allow to say, at the end of this 10th day of mobilization, that the irruption of the youth will take such an extent that it will change the nature of the movement. But, relieves LIbé, the current sequence, on the other hand, makes it possible to measure to what extent Emmanuel Macron has lost the thread with the young people. The Head of State could haveestimates the newspaper, build on the renewed commitment that has been emerging for a few years now among this generation, obviously on the ecological question, but not only. He could also have, after particularly painful Covid years for many of them, made young people a priority for his second five-year term. He preferred to do the opposite and bet everything on his pension reform. There is, basically, concludes Liberation, no reason to rejoice. »
Macron to Pif: “ I like the exchange, the meeting… »
Macron and young people… Precisely, the magazine Conk is publishing an interview with the Head of State this morning. Readers of the famous magazine, now quarterly, questioned the President of the Republic. The interview took place on February 20. But it remains relevant.
Example : “ ”Can you leave your post in full term, and what would happen if you left?” asks Mélina, a fourth-grade student. “If you leave it, it means that there may be a huge crisis and you are prevented”, answers Emmanuel Macron. “At that point, you hand over your mandate to the French, and the people vote again.” »
We are not there, of course… Another question : “ ”What does he like in his job?” Response from the president: ”The exchange, the meeting, trying to understand what works and what does not work in the major choices that I implement. ” »
Here too, opinions will differ…
