The return of pension reform? The CFDT does not want it. " The issue of pensions is not the priority issue of the moment, " repeated Monday morning Laurent Berger, secretary general of the CFDT, at the microphone of LCI. Suspended " sine die " by the head of state in mid-March, pension reform remains a highly flammable subject.
In an interview with the Journal du Dimanche , the new Prime Minister Jean Castex declared that he wished to settle this burning issue "in the short term". “ The crisis has greatly aggravated the deficit in our pension plans. I wish to resume dialogue with the social partners, it is essential. Will we be able to resolve these issues in the short term? This is my wish, "said the new tenant of Matignon, who must unveil today the composition of his new government.
" The real subject is jobs "
“ The question of pensions is not the subject. The real subject is the question of employment, ”reacted Laurent Berger. " We have to start from the reality of the country as it is, to make sure that young people enter the job market ," he added. " What is important for us is the question of unemployment, of employment ". In addition, Laurent Berger said he wanted " finally to take into account trade union organizations in this country ".
In an interview with the regional daily press published last Thursday, Emmanuel Macron affirmed that " there (would be) no abandonment " of his project of universal system, which he always judges " just ", even if he says he is " open " to his reform "being transformed". The Head of State also wishes to " quickly re-engage in-depth consultation (...) from the summer on (the) aspect of financial balance " and considers that " the question of the number of years during which we contribute remains raised "
