At a press briefing on Friday in front of Hotel Matignon, on the second day of the mobilization against the pension reform, the Prime Minister pleaded for the disappearance of special regimes and the establishment of a universal system, assuring, however, that the government did not want to go to "confrontation".

Prime Minister Edouard Philippe will present Wednesday at 12 noon "the entire government project" of pension reform, after new exchanges with unions earlier this week, he said Friday at a press point . The draft reform will be communicated to the Economic and Social Council, said Edouard Philippe.

"My logic will never be that of confrontation," he said, before "deploring" the many misinformation circulating, according to him, around the reform prepared by the government. He further advocated the disappearance of special regimes and the establishment of a universal regime. "The French know that as we go we will have to work longer," he added.

"Today the strike is still important, it is less powerful in the National Education but remains strong in public transport companies such as the SNCF and the RATP", also conceded Edouard Philippe on the second day of the mobilization. "I mean those who suffer, or at least who suffer the inconvenience of exercising this right to strike," he said. The Matignon tenant assured that the government would take measures to encourage carpooling and teleworking. He also mentioned "the establishment of bus lines within cities or between cities".
