Between 400,000 and 600,000 demonstrators are expected in France this Thursday for the twelfth day of action against pension reform. A mobilization that takes place on the eve of the decision of the Constitutional Council, the final page that will close the chapter in the battle for pensions.
At the call of the inter-union, the French opposed to the pension reform parade again in the streets everywhere in France this Thursday as part of a 12th day of interprofessional mobilization. A day of action which takes place on the eve of the decision of the Constitutional Council. After his state visit to the Netherlands, Emmanuel Macron is back in Paris. And for the Head of State, the upcoming decision of the Elders is the last step.
The Head of State will propose to the unions “to exchange” after the decision of the Constitutional Council
When the Constitutional Council will make its decision public, the Head of State will gather around him Elisabeth Borne, several ministers as well as executives of the majority. It will be “a working meeting” we specify in the presidential entourage, as if to better signify that it is now a question of preparing the continuation, of quickly moving on to something else.
Emmanuel Macron himself sketched out this wish on Wednesday evening in Amsterdam. “I will propose to all the social partners to have an exchange. The country must continue to move forward, to face the challenges which are ours, that is the objective”, he declared.
Emmanuel Macron is trying to give impetus to his five-year term
For this, charge the Renaissance party to be force of proposals. On Saturday, the presidential party will organize its national council to debate on themes such as green industry, housing, end of life or the value of work. The President, he is trying to develop his plan to end the crisis. Redesign or not? Emmanuel Macron should speak to the French at the end of next week.
