While the Prime Minister, François Bayrou, has met, since Tuesday January 7, almost all of the representative social actors at the inter-professional level, the main employer movements have reaffirmed positions very far from those defended by the labor organizations. employees. These disagreements do not date from yesterday but they are brought to light at the moment when the tenant of Matignon says he wants ” to resume “ the reform of mid-April 2023, which pushed back the age of eligibility for a pension from 62 to 64 years, provided that these possible adjustments are the subject of a compromise.

Mr. Bayrou led this series of bilateral talks to show his openness to dialogue and prepare the general policy declaration, which he must deliver on January 14 to the National Assembly. The subjects discussed with his interlocutors covered a very broad field: deterioration of the labor market, development of State and Social Security budgets, reconstruction of Mayotte… Particular attention was devoted to the theme of pensions – a huge stone in the shoes of the leaders who have succeeded one another at the head of the country since the adoption of the law of April 2023. The repeal of the 64-year-old rule is demanded by all the unions but also by a very clear majority of deputies.
