According to “Les Échos”, the government's concessions to the PS – like the end of user fees or the abandonment of the two waiting days for public employees on sick leave – represent a cost of 3 billion euros . An effort representing barely 0.2% of public spending. A good strategy for François Bayrou, who thus appears to be a man of openness, but also for the PS, appearing as a party once again sensitive to the fate of civil servants and teachers.
Scene view and review of French political theater. On the one hand, the socialists, inclined to compromise; on the other, the radical left, eager to overturn the table and with it the Bayrou government. The “revolutionaries” gathered around Mélenchon pretend to feel betrayed; the “reformists” repeatedly emphasize the social concessions extracted from the executive.
