Pension reform: last crisis meeting at the Élysée, suspense at its height

Level of tension at the top of the state, when Elisabeth Borne takes the road to the Élysée at the end of the morning: extreme. After a first crisis meeting at breakfast time, Emmanuel Macron gathered again, at noon at the Élysée, the leaders of the majority to, according to the president’s entourage, “follow up on the number of MPs who are likely to be in favour” on his pension reform. Clearly: a final score before the decisive and uncertain vote in the National Assembly.
