pensions, budget… follow the announcements

Neither to the right nor to the left, but to satisfy the right and the left. Funny balancing act that tightrope walker François Bayrou tackles this Tuesday, January 14, 2025 during his general policy speech.

Faced with deputies, he will have to give guarantees on pensions (reform that he will not suspend, nor repeal, he announced this Tuesday), show his goodwill on the budget and reveal how he intends to carry out reforms expected like that at the end of life. All without being censored.

In the late hours of the morning, Olivier Faure, First Secretary of the Socialist Party, considered that an agreement was “possible” in order not to censor the government during the general policy declaration, nor on the budget.

The other parties of the New Popular Front, with the exception of the Insoumis, could follow this agreement. The communists certainly, among the ecologists, doubt exists.

But at the same time, we must not offend the right of Laurent Wauquiez, nor the center of Gabriel Attal who we saw offensive during the passage of Michel Barnier at Matignon.
