Budget, pensions: barely named, the new boss of the CPME faces several hot issues

The inauguration of the president of the CPME certainly had a little less luster than that of Donald Trump. A little less preparation time too. No matter: as soon as he was elected on Tuesday, the new boss of SME bosses wanted to deliver his “political vision” on Thursday morning to journalists invited to the headquarters of the Confederation of SMEs, in La Défense. Because time is running out. Amir Reza-Tofighi was appointed president of the employers' organization after a campaign away from media scrutiny, at a particularly intense moment.
