Out of 508 votes cast, the trio received 474 votes (25 white and 9 uncast), giving a score of 93.31%.
This is more than in 2019 (91.79% of the vote) and than in 2016 (90.83%).
“
I haven't said my last word!
“, launched François Hommeril shortly before the election, highlighting “
an unsurpassable desire to carry for three years the ambition of the CFE-CGC to become even stronger
”.
After having earlier criticized Emmanuel Macron's interview alongside CGT number one Philippe Martinez, judging that the head of state had "
gone to the moon
", he again castigated the pension reform as being "
the overdose of so-called courageous reforms
".
He stressed that from the start he "
denounced his suspicious and unbalanced motivation
", "
his precarious argumentation
" and "
the injustice of his impact
".

bad trip
”
.
As if nothing had changed for 40 years
.
Regarding the union's line, he felt that the term "
reformist
" had been "
distorted, emptied of its progressive substance by binary-minded political decision-makers for whom a union is called upon to be either an unrepentant dissenter or an accompanist zealous
”.
François Hommeril claims "
a third way: that of being objectors of single thought
".
The Congress will continue on Thursday with a morning of discussions on socio-economic themes as well as the election of national secretaries and national delegates of the union.
The delegates, including François Hommeril, will take a break at midday to demonstrate near the Palais des Congrès, as part of the ninth day of inter-union mobilization.
Founded in 1944, the General Confederation of Executives (CGC), which became the CFE-CGC in 1981, is the fourth largest union in France and claims 160,000 members.
