Anne Hidalgo repeats it, if she is elected in the 2022 presidential election, she will not decree "a further reduction in working time".

"I will let the social partners decide," said the candidate PS on BFMTV and RMC.

"The trade unions will be able to take up this subject in the great interprofessional negotiation of branches and then of companies that I will open (...) and they will take it up voluntarily", detailed the mayor of Paris.

At the beginning of October, Anne Hidalgo had assured on France 3 that "to raise the question of working time" was obvious, by expressing the idea of ​​passing the week from 35 to 32 hours.

At that time already, she recalled that this decision was not up to a president, but that he was all the same "there to give an impetus".

"It is the ineluctable march of social progress"

“I look at what Pedro Sanchez (president of the Spanish government, editor's note) is doing in Spain.

He said that companies and trade unions who want to take up this subject go there and we will support them.

So that's how I see things: if they want to go, we will support them, but I will not create a new law to reduce working time, ”continued the candidate.

However, she underlined that "it is the ineluctable march of social progress to have had these great conquests" such as "the reduction in working time", recalling that she comes "from a working-class background" and that she "saw his uncles die at the age of 60 just after their professional life".
