On the eve of the 10th day of mobilization against the pension reform, the executive wanted to display a studious face, this Monday, March 27. Elisabeth Borne organized a meeting with the heavyweights of the presidential alliance at the National Assembly. A little earlier in the day, the Prime Minister had already participated in a meeting at the Élysée with the tenors of the government and the majority, where Emmanuel Macron sent a few messages.
Smiling faces, but no comment after the meeting. No question of dispersing, the time has come for remobilization with two leitmotivs set by the Head of State: dialogue and firmness.
“ We must continue to reach out to the unions “, in particular repeated Emmanuel Macron, who keeps the door of the Élysée open. But out of the question for him to receive them if the centrals first request the suspension of the pension reform.
Expand the presidential alliance
Dialogue with the opposition too: Elisabeth Borne has three weeks to carry out its consultations with the aim of widening the ranks of the presidential alliance and finding majorities on the texts to come.
But not with all opposition. Insubordinate France is thus in the crosshairs by Emmanuel Macron. LFI wants delegitimize the reasonable order, our institutions and its tools “, annoyed the head of state, anticipating a revolt of the rebellious against the Constitutional Council, if the latter validates the pension reform.
Don’t give an inch, so, but in flexibility. Accelerated gymnastics lessons in anticipation for the government and the parties of the presidential camp, while Emmanuel Macron will travel abroad from next week.
