“We are not immune to a flash of lucidity from Emmanuel Macron”

The inter-union will also “

send a letter this evening

” to Emmanuel Macron, “

to ask him to be received and that he withdraw the decline in the starting age

” from 62 to 64, indicated the head of Force Ouvrière, Frédéric Souillot.

"

The least he can do is stop playing big and try to reconnect

," added Philippe Martinez, warning the executive against "

a forced passage (which) would only ignite the powder

”.

Simon Duteil, co-secretary delegate of Solidaire, for his part considered that "

this week is decisive

", adding that "

it is not because the government is right in its boots that we are not going to win

".

We are not immune to a flash of lucidity from Emmanuel Macron

”, quipped François Hommeril, president of the CFE-CGC, judging that “

if we press where it hurts, we may have be a better chance that he finally agrees to come to his senses and withdraw his project

".

Not to the point, however, of launching a joint call for a renewable strike, because “

it is the employees and the sectors who decide

”, recalled the number one of the CFTC, Cyril Chabanier.

Among teachers too, “

it is not decided from above with the snap of a finger

”, justified the secretary general of the FSU, Benoit Teste.
