The announcement was expected, but the date was yet to be determined. At the head of the bridge in the conflict against the pension reform, the boss of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, announces in an interview with World his next departure from the direction of the union. “I said, during our congress in June 2022, in Lyon, that I would leave during my mandate […]. I simply want to respect collective rules and a form of personal ethics, linked to the democratic functioning of the CFDT”, he justifies himself.
His departure is therefore expected on June 21. He will be replaced on this date by his number two, Marylise Léon. “It is a decision that has been carefully considered and made before the 2022 convention. It is not a whim and it is not related to current events. It is the normal life of a democratic organization like ours”, comments a close friend of Laurent Berger in Figaro.
