A few days before the strike on December 5, the government meets Sunday at Matignon around Edouard Philippe, for a working seminar. Objective: to narrow the ranks, harmonize the communication and prepare the post of this mobilization which promises to be massive. The Prime Minister will detail the reform and its timetable again.

Last stalls before the strike. The government is meeting Sunday, late afternoon at Matignon, for a government seminar, four days of the movement of December 5. The opportunity to remind everyone of the partition of the executive, while an Ifop survey for the JDD reveals that 76% of respondents want a pension reform but do not trust the power in place to lead. The time is definitely over the hulls on the content of the pension reform.

With this government seminar, Edouard Philippe first wants to harmonize the government's communication, as he did with Macronist MPs earlier this week. The elected officials had received elements of language on the sidelines of a meeting with the leader of the majority. "We have to stay compact," said a minister.

Prepare after December 5

Clearly, over the words of both sides of time. For this Edouard Philippe will detail the reform and the calendar, until he returns his arbitration within a fortnight. The government also wants to be active as the French prepare for the strike. If in Matignon, it is considered that the pressure is a little down since the speech of the Prime Minister in the form of demining this week, this seminar will also serve to prepare both the day of December 5 that after, in transport, the hospitals or even the police ... But without feverishness ensures a minister: "December 5 will be less difficult to manage than the movement of yellow vests".
