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 Minister of Labour justifies himself by stating that "we knew from the outset, and this was reinforced by the votes of theCFDT congress in June, that there would be a disagreement on the questions of age or contribution period"
