Two lessons were learned from this ninth day of mobilization against the pension reform, which took place on Thursday, March 23: it was massive, but also more violent than the previous ones.
This was retained by the entire political class, whose reactions were very diverse this Friday morning.
“
Red lines
” have thus been crossed, in the words of the spokesperson for the Renaissance deputies, Maud Bregeon.
On France Info, the elected representative of Hauts-de-Seine called on "
all the trade unions
" as well as "
all the living forces of the country
" to adopt a "
speech of firmness
", condemning the actions of the regard to public buildings and police officers.
His appeal was subsequently supplemented by that of the Ministry of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, enjoining himself to "
condemn the far left
" who came to the demonstrations to "
break the cop
".

Invited to CNews, the Beauvau tenant also shared the figures resulting from this day of protest: “
903 street furniture or trash can fires in Paris
”, “
457 arrests everywhere in France
” and “
441 police officers and gendarmes injured
”.
The balance sheet is “
difficult
”, he underlined.
Also saying "
worried
" about "
the presence of the extremely numerous far left
".
“
I do not think at all that this text should be withdrawn in exchange for violence
”, decided the number three of the government.
The left puts pressure on the executive
A response formulated to the arguments of the left, where violence, although condemned, is also used to put pressure on the executive.
At the microphone of BFMTV / RMC, the deputy La France insoumise François Ruffin thus mentioned three “
solutions
”: “
the referendum, the withdrawal, the resignation
”.
“
All the solutions go through the fact that there is the people, how do we get together with the people again?
“, he questioned.
Before accusing the power of "
ignoring the country
", ensuring that "
they do not know what is happening in the country and they are turning their backs on it
".
"
The question, today for us, is what should be done to make the power heard up there so that we can find a path of appeasement for the country?
“, said the chosen one again.
François Ruffin also returned the ball to the management of the maintenance of order, accusing the president of favoring the “
strategy of chaos
”.
"
We have a crisis which is deeply political, which calls for a political question, and to which we provide a police response
", he detailed, drawing a parallel with the maintenance of order during the crisis of "vests yellow”.

“
It is urgent that Macron accept the outstretched hand
,” added the national secretary of the Communist Party, Fabien Roussel.
Evoking in turn "
two options
": that of withdrawing from the movement and leaving "
the President of the Republic in the face of the anger of the people
" - "
and no one can know how that can translate tomorrow
" - and that of continuing "
to call for mobilization
”.
The deputy also asks himself the question of continuing to sit in the National Assembly, “
as if nothing had happened
”.
"Put the pension reform on hold"
For his part, the deputy of the National Rally, Sébastien Chenu, called for "
the country to calm down
".
“
Emmanuel Macron must suspend this reform, that he does not seek to impose it on the French
”, he formulated on LCI.
And to call Gérald Darmanin to "
identify the black blocks, that we strongly sanction them
".
"
The far left rots everything
," he said.
“
These thugs want terror.
How much longer are we going to tolerate this mess?
“, also questioned the boss of the Republicans, Éric Ciotti on Twitter.
In the middle, the boss of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, celebrated without fanfare the renewed participation in the processions.
After noting "
many, many people
" in the streets, the union leader condemned "
unacceptable violence
", regretting all the more reason that it could relate to "
the symbols of the Republic
".
These overflows “
overshadow
” according to him the social crisis, which nevertheless constitutes “
the substance of the subject
”, in the same way as the “
democratic crisis
” caused by the recourse to article 49-3.
Worried about the anger rumbling in the country, Laurent Berger called on the government to "
put the pension reform on hold, calm things down before a tragedy
".
The trade unionist mentioned a “
time for dialogue
” of six months to discuss the issue of work more broadly, “
why not with a mediator
”.
A proposal which won the consent of Cyril Chabanier, president of the CFTC, interviewed Friday morning on BFMTV.
“In companies, when things are going really badly, there are often mediators […] who come to help both the trade union organizations and the company manager to get out of a crisis.
Doing the same thing at the national level is rather a good idea
,” he said.
