Trade unionists criticize the PM for not having listened to them and not really having a dialogue, especially concerning the very controversial article 7, which consists in raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 years.

To this end, an extraordinary police force had been deployed around the National Assembly on both sides of the Quai d'Orsay and Place Bourbon. Unless you were a resident or an accredited journalist or a member of Parliament, no one could access this square, a hyper-secure and high-voltage VIP (protesters chanted songs and with banners from the rue de l'Université....
All this is explained by the presence of two former presidents of the republic, demonstrators and trade union leaders. The current President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron having also been present, a few steps from the Assembly, i.e. at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where he had come the same morning, presented the results and congratulated the ambassadors and diplomats on the subject of the reform of French diplomacy, which began in 2020.
