Sunday, August 31, the Prime Minister gave a live interview from Matignon. He said he was ready to review his decision to remove two holidays, but remains adamant of the 44 billion euros in savings and the effort requested from retirees.
In eight days, François Bayrou will be in the rostrum of the Assembly to try to obtain confidence. A very compromised bet today. While his days seem counted in Matignon, he makes a timid opening gesture on the suppression of the two holidays. A measure refused by a large majority of French people. Optionally come back to a single holiday, the French are divided. “It is not with workers that you have to get money, but rather from billionaires who do not pay their taxes”estimates a passerby. “The two days did not worry me. The months of May are unbearable”consider another.
On the other hand, the Prime Minister is inflexible on the target of 44 billion euros in savings. Intratable also, on the effort requested from retirees, with the implementation of a lump sum reduction. In the end, 1h25 interview to try to change the situation. But the oppositions are not convinced. For the PS, censorship is inevitable. On the side of the national rally, no change either. From Monday, September 1, François will initiate consultations with political parties.
