A remarkable exit.
By calling for "
not to rush things
" and to prevent the unions from "
coming out humiliated
" from the sequence of retirements, Élisabeth Borne made a dissonant voice heard in an executive which continues to claim its democratic legitimacy and does not hesitate not to take it directly to the CFDT and its secretary general.
Questioned on BFM TV on Friday morning, Laurent Berger, who has been hammering the expression "
democratic crisis
" for several days, declared himself "
agree
" with Élisabeth Borne "
on the fact that we need appeasement and reverence
”.
The secretary general of the CFDT did not fail to point out that the Prime Minister's remarks reported by the newspaper
Le Monde
were "
more respectful
" than the message "
which had come from China
".
Emmanuel Macron's entourage, currently traveling in China, condemned on Wednesday that "
no social and political opposition force
" had "
wanted to enter into a compromise and carry out another project
".
"
For the first time in its contemporary history, the CFDT has not proposed another project
," lamented the same source.
“I have respect for the President of the Republic”
Those close to the President "
know nothing about the history of the CFDT
", Laurent Berger got carried away in response to this presidential projection.
The same regretted that the social conflict could be "
summed up in a cockfight
" between Emmanuel Macron and him.
"
I have respect for the President of the Republic
" and "
I do not put myself at his height
", explained the secretary general of the CFDT, very popular in the opinion polls.

The movement is not running out of steam.
What is running out of steam is the ability of employees to mobilize for the eleventh time in processions because it weighs on purchasing power
, ”he defended.
Laurent Berger also recalled the support of public opinion.
“
There is still as much determination against this reform
,” he assured.
If he still hopes that the reform will be "
paused
" by the executive, Laurent Berger recalled his attachment to democracy and his imperative respect for the decision that the Constitutional Council will make in a week to the day.
