In the aftermath of the 10th day of mobilization against the pension reform, the protest obviously remains omnipresent, but it loses in intensity. Mobilization is running out of steam. Is the head of state winning his bet on the war of attrition?
Fewer demonstrators, less degradation… The 10th day of mobilization against the pension reform brought together 740,000 demonstrators all over France according to the Ministry of the Interior and more than 2 million according to the CGT. Figures down from last Thursday.
Strikers here and there returning to work, like the garbage collectors in Paris. What to restore confidence to Emmanuel Macron. The President bet from the beginning on the strategy of the rotting of the social movement, on the breathlessness of the unions.
However, “it’s not the end of the tunnel”, procrastinates a heavyweight of the majority. Because if Elisabeth Borne invited the inter-union to a meeting at Matignon on Monday or Tuesday, the executive absolutely does not want to pause the reform, as required by the boss of the CFDT Laurent Berger. A new day of mobilization has already been announced for next Thursday.
The decision of the Constitutional Council scheduled for mid-April
In the meantime, no one, neither at the Élysée nor at Matignon seems to have found “the good idea” according to an adviser, the solution to get out of the crisis. “We simply turn our backs” loose a government strategist, impatient for the Constitutional Council to render its decision.
The decision of the Constitutional Council is scheduled for mid-April. Two to three weeks of waiting and uncertainty for the macronie while the head of state will fly in the coming days for China and then for the Netherlands. International appointments that come at the right time to extricate themselves from the crisis, at least physically.
