Unions in Matignon, green industry and Dieudonné at the Ramadan trial: the information to remember this noon

The info not to be missed

The unions return Tuesday and Wednesday to Matignon for the first time since the promulgation of the highly contested pension reform, which still occupies everyone's mind. After a meeting with the inter-union at the beginning of April that had been cut short, Elisabeth Borne receives this time each of the five representative organizations, without a precise agenda.

While she blows out her first candle today in Matignon, Elisabeth Borne will meet at the end of the afternoon with FO and the CFDT. Then Wednesday morning with the CFE-CGC and the CFTC, before the CGT in the afternoon. "We will first talk to her about pensions by telling her that there is a new appointment at the National Assembly and that we must let this appointment take place", and then "we will tell her that we must repair" what she has "a little damaged in the world of work", said this Tuesday morning Laurent Berger, number one of the CFDT, on France 2.

The inter-union reiterated Monday in a statement its "determined" opposition to the reform, against which it organizes a 14th day of strike and demonstrations on June 6, two days before the examination of a bill of the Liot group to repeal it. "We must balance the pension system for our children," Emmanuel Macron said Monday night in an interview with TF1.

A new edition of the Vinci Autoroutes Foundation's barometer highlights driving contrasts depending on the region. If the French are among the worst drivers in Europe, it is even worse in some regions. Thus, in Île-de-France, where we spend the most time in traffic jams, this is where we declare the most incivility at the wheel. While 62% of road users in France say they call while driving (42% regularly), 65% do so in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Normandy, compared to 57% in Brittany.
