On the eve of his general policy declaration, François Bayrou continues his negotiations this Monday in order to avoid censorship from the left without losing his LR allies who are raising their voices. At the heart of discussions again and again, pension reform. If a meeting is confirmed at 5:30 p.m. in Matignon between the head of government and the presidents of the two chambers of Parliament, Yaël Braun-Pivet and Gérard Larcher, who refused in Le Parisien any suspension of the reform, only the meetings in the morning with the agricultural unions are currently on the agenda.
The boss of the Socialists Olivier Faure must have an “exchange” Monday evening with François Bayrou, who hopes to obtain a non-censorship agreement with the non-Mélenchonist left which in exchange demands the “suspension” of the pension reform. In the absence of support from the RN for this motion, the government should not fall this week in any case.
Cold snap in France. It froze in most regions during the night and at daybreak this Monday, Météo France placed 34 departments on extreme cold yellow vigilance, the second level on a scale of 4. Overall, temperatures are between 4°C and 7°C below the minimum values expected when waking up at this time of year.
The cold is expected to persist this Tuesday, with very pronounced negative temperatures over a large part of the country. Despite everything, the week ahead should be full of sunshine.
