He hoped that legal proceedings would be taken on the case. Laurent Berger, general secretary of the CFDT, announces this Monday a complaint after the intrusion occurred Friday at the headquarters of his union.
Asked about RMC and BFMTV, he explained that a meeting with the police was scheduled for Monday morning to file the complaint. He denounces "the intrusion", the "violence" used, "insults" and "intimidation" of which certain CFDT employees were allegedly victims.
"The first images I saw supposedly showed something festive, but with insulting songs, explains Laurent Berger. Then I saw other images which showed much more intimidation, violence, insults. We must stop putting things into perspective. What happened was violent, it was a form of aggression ”

The CFDT has chosen to discuss with the government the terms of the pension reform. She proposed that a funding conference be held while the government temporarily suspended the application of a pivotal age to retire at full rate. The CGT, for its part, is one of the organizations asking for a complete withdrawal of the reform. The divergence between unions is creating tension.
“We don't have to agree with the CFDT. But it represents 620,000 members. It has democratic bodies. It is not for outside forces to come and intimidate us, ”denounces Laurent Berger. The CGT, she explained not to "condone" the intrusion. “Each trade union organization is free to choose its own mode of operation, its orientation and its demands. "
