The president tried to calm his relationship with the Prime Minister. A senior official said that the president was "annoyed" by the PM's decision to postpone the bill.
The bill was put back on the agenda for a further 100 days, the official said. The PM's spokesman said the decision was not to delay the bill but to give it more time to come to an agreement with the unions. The president said he was not unhappy with the decision to put the bill on hold, but that it was not the right thing to do.
