Much was confirmed yesterday in correctly

The end of retirement at 60 years did the France in the street. Yesterday, the day of action against the pension reform delivered mobilizations halftone, reassuring some unions (who were pessimistic), and many Government. Early lessons from one day which called surely others.

Mobilization: the Union minimum

Soaked but contents: yesterday, water spouts that have accompanied the Parisian procession were not douché somewhat surjoué enthusiasm for Union leaders. With a total, according to the CGT, 1 million participants, all welcome "successful" this day test. If a true coup de force, the intersyndicale (CGT, CFDT, FSU, solidarity, CFTC, Unsa) considers provided essentially by doing better than in the round of heater of 23 March (800,000 demonstrators according to trade unions).

What remains to prove: the police, she counted 395.000 demonstrators, or as much as two months ago...

In any event the magnitude of the movement remains limited in the light of the sensitivity of the subject. But for ce stage of iron arm, "c' is the point of support needed to convince the Government that it did not party won", positive Bernard Thibault (CGT). François Chérèque (CFDT) is abundant in believing that "awareness monte among the employees. But, to support this analysis, unions argue that the movement was well followed in private, that ground lifts tend to put into perspective.

In comparison, the first major demonstrations against the 2003 reform is had met, on 3 April, "only" 700,000 people (unions). This total had then tripled in the following parades, on 13 May.

A new day of action emerges late June

And now The Inter-Union will make the point Monday. It is almost acquired it will mobilize before the end of June in the wake of the presentation by the Executive of the Bill. Much was confirmed yesterday in correctly. The approach of the summer and the football World Cup effect will complicate the exercise, but not to react would be as a capitulation. On the contrary, power plants, rely on a "surge" more employees from the reform in its entirety. "The battle of opinion has only just begun," said Annick Coupe (FSU). Any Union tactic now is to maintain this battle until the review of the text to Parliament, reconvenes. It is then, believe, that is really play the iron arm. "It's a long journey, not a race of speed as the Government's strategy." "This will set up by levels," said Alain Olive (Unsa).

Enhanced the confidence of the Government

"No triumphalism", but a confidence strengthened and displayed: yesterday evening, the spokesman for the Government, Luc Chatel, has estimated that the "low mobilization" had just "validate the method of Government" and its "d Medion" to implement "a fair and balanced reform." In the aftermath, François Chérèque denounced this judgment "almost contemptuous." The party will remain tight, but last night, Eric Woerth, "serene", welcomed that "the mobilization was not higher than in March" despite the official announcement in the meantime of raising of the age. It is the evidence, estimated in the Executive Branch, that "education is a little". The strength of the Government is also supported by the shortness of the mobilization of officials, with rates of strikers receding from March (read here), and the weakness of disturbances in the transport and public services. Bernard Thibault advance that "the head of State himself will be forced to think", an inflection is not the order of the day. The choice for Nicolas Sarkozy is rather this: should take the opportunity to go very far in the reform, at the risk of wake up the crowds, or remain in its original scheme The response is more delay.
