The government ready to face the future mobilization against the pension reform.

While Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne unveiled the measures on Tuesday, most unions and leftist parties called for a demonstration on January 19.

Not enough to officially shake the executive.

Thursday, January 19, will mark the start of the mobilization against the pension reform.

The eight main unions agreed on this date this Tuesday evening, shortly after the announcements of Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne.

This Wednesday morning, the coordinator of France Insoumise Manuel Bompard confirmed that his party will grow the ranks of processions everywhere in France.

Faced with the organization of the various opponents of the reform, there is still no concern, officially, on the side of the executive.

In reality, the government does not project itself into the idea of ​​massive mobilization, explains government spokesperson Olivier Véran.

"The hardest part was to present this reform. Now it's done!" Smiles an adviser to Europe 1, as if the fire test had passed.

However, it is out of the question for the executive to lower the guard.

"We remain concentrated because we have no visibility on the magnitude that the dispute movement can take. We cannot anticipate," says a relative of a minister.

The government points to a special intention on new sources of mobilization, in particular groups on social networks that escape unions.

Pending the demonstrations and the deadline of January 19, the government intends to detail this reform.

"The time for education is now. We must explain our project before the text arrives in Parliament to save time", deciphers a strategist, because according to him, "in Parliament, it will be a mess and it will not it will be a question of retaliating to the attacks".

Relaxation measures to possibly try to calm an important social rebellion are not ruled out.

Another adviser analyzes that "to say that Élisabeth Borne has nothing under her feet in case it breaks down is to misunderstand her".
