to the CFDT one Union favour a regime by points

The mess disrupts the country on the eve of the holiday of all saints, Nicolas Sarkozy did not intend to release of ballast. On the contrary, the head of State has increased the tone yesterday, again ordering the release of fuel deposits. And by refusing any withdrawal of the reform: "I resolutely end the pension reform, because it is my duty," said at the Council of Ministers. Without seeing the mobilization lose steam, the Executive now hopes that the images of a France prevented from circulating will change the nature of the movement, and exasperate the opinion. Until it is perceived in the polls, the leaders of the majority is are relayed all day to explain that he was "general interest" (François Fillon), that the Government had already moved on the text of Act (Luc Chatel), and that the majority remained much more United on the question that the PS (Jean-François Copé). The Senate left solemnly requested a stay of proceedings: Eric Woerth answered "no" without appeal.

The Executive continues to bet on a final adoption of the text in the coming days (intervention in the wake of the head of State seems not totally excluded) and the improvement of the situation in gas stations by the lifting of the blockades and the importation of fuel.

Exit doors

Yesterday, Jean-Louis Borloo, in charge of energy, felt that the situation was almost identical to that of the eve: approximately 3.200 stations were dry and 1,700 in difficulty on a product on 12.300. If a few deposits have been released (Donges, Caen..), the Government keeps to set a date for the return to normal. According to the distributors, the shortage will be not resolved for departures on holiday.

Can this firmness pay It is the issue of the coming days, while the unions want to continue the iron arm (read here). The Executive seems careful to Honourable exit doors to the confederations. This is the objective of the information that distils the Elysee Palace for a more social end of five years after the redesign of November. The employment of young people and the industry would then put on the table.

"National thinking".

The Government began to lay the groundwork for the resumption of the dialogue. Once the law passed, "there are regulatory measures that will require consultation with the social partners", noted François Fillon. In the immediate future, the text will be changed to the margin in the Senate. An amendment tabled by the right and the centre proposes "national thinking", from 2014, on a "systemic"reform of pensions. Should he be voted last night or today. Among the "themes" of this reflection, "the establishment of a universal regime by points". A subject dear to Senators and... to the CFDT, one Union favour a regime by points. Given the context, this gesture, which committed to nothing, is unlikely to placate the opposition of the CFDT to reform. The Central application that it freezes the offset of the age of retirement without haircut at age 65, which it does not matter.
