On the night of Friday to Saturday, Emmanuel Macron promulgated the highly contested pension reform. An express reaction, which would show the "contempt" of the president towards "the workers", castigated the secretary general of the CFDT, Laurent Berger. But for Olivier Dussopt, "there is no contempt, there is the desire that everyone is respected in his skills".The day after the promulgation of the law on pensions by Emmanuel Macron, just a few hours after the validation of the text by the Constitutional Council, the oppositions continue to denounce the speed of the head of state. The secretary general of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, considers that "from the beginning, the contempt returned to the workers has been constant," he wrote on Twitter. A term he takes up in an interview this Sunday with the newspaper Le Parisien, saying that "Emmanuel Macron's message with this promulgation in the middle of the night is to the end contempt for the world of work and disconnection with reality."
"We knew this reform would be unpopular"
A "contempt" that Olivier Dussopt contests. Invited this Sunday to the Grand Rendez-vous d'Europe 1 / CNews / Les Échos, the Minister of Labour, Full Employment and Integration said that "there is no contempt, there is the will that everyone be respected in his skills".
Faced with Laurent Berger's reaction, the Minister of Labour justifies himself by stating that "we knew from the outset, and this was reinforced by the votes of the CFDT congress in June, that there would be a disagreement on the questions of age or contribution period and we knew, to go to the end of the reflection, that this reform would be unpopular because none of the reforms are."
