This Thursday, April 6, 2023 will be held, at the call of the inter-union, the eleventh day of mobilization against the pension reform. In Matignon, from this Monday, April 3, Elisabeth Borne will receive party presidents, leaders of parliamentary groups and union representatives for “consultations”. Three days before the next day of demonstration, the Prime Minister wishes to “discuss the method that we want to put in place” for the rest of Emmanuel Macron’s five-year term, according to franceinfo.
After having narrowly escaped a motion of censure on March 20, Elisabeth Borne, much criticized by the opposition parties and within the majority itself, was charged by Emmanuel Macron with calming the situation. For this, he asked him to discuss with the opposition parties in order to “enlarge the majority” and find compromises in view of the next legislative projects. Elisabeth Borne has also been given the task of renewing dialogue with the unions in a tense social climate.
The leader of the Renaissance group, Stéphane Séjourné, declared on Sunday April 2 in Le Grand Jury: “There are four years left in office. I cannot believe that France is going to be immobilized for four years, new priorities have to be found” .
Elisabeth Borne then launched invitations at the end of March to party leaders, leaders of parliamentary groups and union officials. Not everyone agreed to participate in these “consultations”. Who answered present? What will be the topics of conversation with the Prime Minister? Check it out in our slideshow below.
