False start. Let’s talk about the social partners. In his speech, François Bayrou announced that he was going to bring them together in Matignon this Friday to begin discussions aimed at improving the pension reform with a goal of delivery in October. Refusing to express any celebration on the subject, the latter have already had to make the Prime Minister suffer his first disappointment. Friday, this will not be possible, for scheduling reasons. The number 1 of the CGT, Sophie Binet, confirmed this on Wednesday morning on RTL: “This meeting will not take place on Friday, and we do not have a new date.” “The Minister of Labor called me around 8 a.m. to warn me and tell me that we would receive an invitation letter on Friday”another union leader told AFP, who does not say “not unhappy”. “I was surprised to learn live yesterday [mardi lors du discours de François Bayrou à l’Assemblée] that there would be a meeting and that you had to be available 48 hours later”he continued. “We cannot summon people in less than 72 hours either,” Minister Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet, for her part, pointed out on France Info, saying exactly the opposite of what her boss had said the day before.
