Did you miss the news this early morning?

We've put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.

The social partners at Matignon to talk about the pension reform

The year 2023 has barely begun when the government is already plunging back into the flagship issue of the five-year term: pensions.

Elisabeth Borne will thus receive this Tuesday, but also Wednesday, the social partners for final talks on this controversial reform, which must be presented on January 10 but which is opposed by a majority of French people in the inflammable context of a power of purchase chipped away by inflation.

The secretary general of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, will be the first to be received at 3:30 p.m. by the Prime Minister.

He will be followed by François Hommeril, president of the CFE-CGC, Frédéric Souillot, general secretary of FO and François Asselin, president of the CPME.

CFTC, MEDEF, U2P, UNSA and CGT officials will follow on Wednesday.

Brazil buries its “King” Pelé on Tuesday

The world, but especially Brazil, is about to say goodbye to Pelé.

This Tuesday, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will be one of the last to pay tribute this Tuesday to the football legend who will be buried during the day.

The Brazilian president, who took office on Sunday, is expected in the city of Santos, in the south-east of the country, at 9 a.m., an hour before the end of the funeral vigil which began 24 hours earlier.

Then the funeral procession will cross Santos and will pass in particular in front of the house of the mother of Pelé, Celeste Arantes, aged 100 years.

The remains of the "King" of football will then be taken to his final resting place, a mausoleum specially erected in a cemetery, for a Catholic rite ceremony in strict family intimacy.

Bogota and Dassault fail to reach an agreement for the purchase of Rafale

Dassault ended the year 2022 badly. Colombia and the French aircraft manufacturer did not succeed in finalizing negotiations for the purchase by Bogota of Rafale fighter planes within the time allowed.

This acquisition of French aircraft, the announcement of which was made official on December 21, was to be formalized before the end of 2022, as stipulated by the National Council for Economic and Social Policy.

Originally, Colombia had announced plans to buy 16 Rafale for an amount of three billion euros to replace its Israeli Kfir fighters.

All is not lost for Dassault, however: the Minister of Defense has in fact indicated that the Colombian government will soon decide whether to study again the offers of the French aircraft manufacturer.
