The general secretary of the CGT, Sophie Binet, declared in an interview with La Tribune on Sunday that she would only see Sébastien Lecornu again “only” afterwards the mobilization of the 2nd October and “on the basis” of a “balance of power”.
“For the breakup, we’ll come back! “, she reacted about the first orientations presented by the new Prime Minister in an interview published Friday in Le Parisien. “He is closing the door on pensions and the Zucman tax, still not clearly committing to the other red lines”, she commented.
“This confirms the need for the mobilization of October 2. It is only after this day, and on the basis of the balance of power of September 10 and 18, that we will meet him again to demand concrete answers”, declared Sophie Binet. The union leaders were received on Wednesday by Sébastien Lecornu, in Matignon, but considered the exchanges unsuccessful and decreed a new day of mobilization on October 2, after a first day of strike on September 18.
Sébastien Lecornu has announced his intention to receive the union leaders again in the coming days, asking for contributions on several themes linked to work and social protection. “We will maintain pressure until the end of the parliamentary debates in December so that the budget is under the surveillance of the world of work”, assured Sophie Binet. “Without any real break on his part, he will in turn join Emmanuel Macron’s cemetery of Prime Ministers”, she said.
