White, black or grey, the smoke will come out at the end of the afternoon. It is this Friday that the Constitutional Council must deliver its long-awaited opinion on the pension reform which has set the country ablaze since January. Just before 4 p.m., the President of the Republic brings together the main members of the government and the leaders of the majority at the Élysée for a meeting to outline the continuation of the operations. Around the Prime Minister of Elisabeth Borne, will notably appear Olivier Dussopt (Labour), Gérald Darmanin (Interior) and Bruno Le Maire (Economy). If the executive expects to see some censored articles, he is still counting on a validation by the wise men of the flagship measure of the project: the postponement of the legal age of departure from 62 to 64 years old. And fears to see in the wake of spontaneous and violent demonstrations breaking out in the country.
But Emmanuel Macron is also preparing the sequel. Once passed the stage of the Constitutional Council, the President of the Republic will address the French to try to launch this second five-year term which continues to start. The head of state has three priorities: health, education and the environment. A redesign is under study to better embody these three poles. After three months of intense social conflict, the President of the Republic also wants to resume language with the unions. And put on the table a great law on well-being at work.
