Trying to get out of the crisis.
Emmanuel Macron was banking on his televised address on Monday evening to finally turn the page on the pension reform, promulgated overnight from Friday to Saturday.
Despite the still lively disputes, the head of state maintained that the text was
"necessary"
to
"guarantee everyone's retirement"
.
The President of the Republic took the opportunity to draw up new projects, on work but also on reindustrialization and the republican order.
• The lack of "consensus" with the unions regretted
“Is this an accepted reform? Obviously, no”
, recognized the head of state.
Despite
"months of consultation"
with the social partners, Emmanuel Macron
"regrets"
that a
"consensus"
has not
"been found"
on the reform.
Faced with this failure, the president assured that he would take, with his government,
"all
(his)
share of responsibility"
.
• Towards new negotiations with the social partners?
Has the Head of State heard the criticisms of the verticality of power?
Emmanuel Macron assured that he wanted to open "
without limits or taboos a series of negotiations"
on work-related subjects, such as the sharing of wealth, professional retraining or the employment of seniors.
These exchanges must bring together the employers' organizations and trade unions, the first being received on Tuesday, when the seconds refused to meet the tenant of the Élysée for the moment.
• “No one, and me in particular, can remain deaf to the demand for social justice”
The Head of State claimed to have
“heard opposition in the demonstrations
” to the pension reform.
However, continued Emmanuel Macron, it was
"more generally anger that was expressed"
.
"Anger in the face of a job which, for too many French people, no longer allows them to live well, in the face of rising prices"
, noted the president.
The Head of State assured that
“no one can remain deaf to this demand for social justice and for the renovation of our democratic life”
.
Before insisting:
"Nobody, and me in particular."
• Work, the first "construction site" to come
In the processions, the Head of State notably heard the
“anger in the face of work, which, for too many French people, no longer allows them to live well”
.
Faced with this observation, the government will therefore reopen the
“work site”
.
Among the avenues mentioned, the executive intends to reform vocational high schools or increase efforts to “
bring the beneficiaries of the RSA back to work”
.
• "Renovating the republican order" and "strengthening the control of illegal immigration", second project
Emmanuel Macron has promised to seize
"the republican order"
.
"There is no freedom without laws, nor without sanctions against those who transgress the rights of others"
, he wanted to recall.
The State must therefore
"recruit more than 10,000 magistrates and agents"
and
"create 200 new gendarmerie brigades in our countryside"
.
The president assured that this fight
“against all forms of delinquency and all fraud”
will be
“at the heart of government action”
.
On these issues,
"strong announcements"
must be made
"from the month of May"
.
Emmanuel Macron also promised to strengthen
“the control of illegal immigration, while better integrating those who join our country”
.
• Democratic life: Emmanuel Macron wants to improve the functioning of institutions
During his speech, the Head of State said he wanted to
"fight against the persistent feeling that voting is no longer deciding"
.
A nod to the democratic crisis pointed out by the boss of the CFDT, Laurent Berger.
Emmanuel Macron therefore intends to propose
“main tracks”
to improve the efficiency of institutions and citizen participation, citing the example of the “
citizen convention on the end of life”
.
• “Progress for a better life”, third project
Recognizing the anger of French people who
"have the feeling of doing their part, but without being rewarded for their efforts, neither in aid nor in effective public services"
, the Head of State said he wanted to make sure to improve daily life. of our fellow citizens.
“It is our public services that will have to carry this hope, from early childhood to old age
,” he pleaded, defending his record on school and health.

Surrounded by
"other leaders of the nation"
, the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, will detail next week the three sites, listed this Monday evening by the Head of State.

"a first assessment"
of this new government roadmap.
