Day of strike and demonstrations this Thursday: the executive hardly believes in a social explosion

Not even afraid ! This is the feeling that dominates in the corridors of power, while the CGT, Solidaires, the Unef and several organizations are calling this Thursday for a first showdown with the government on the subject of wages and pensions. “People have their minds elsewhere. There is a concern about energy yes, but not a risk of social explosion, ”says a weighty minister, little stressed by the return to social life. “A preventive strike against a pension reform that the French know we will do is not very mobilizing,” he grits.
