Until August the government will therefore be walking on eggshells. The SNCF controllers' strike reminded Gabriel Attal of this reality.

During the overly long series of reshuffles, the only government time available was devoted to the agricultural crisis. In the future other crises will inevitably disrupt the ‘summer of social progress’ and the “autumn of work’ that Attal sees succeeding the ’spring of emergencies’. In Matignon, the government has wasted so much time.
