"Une négo, il faut savoir la finir" : Marylise Léon enterre définitivement le conclave sur les retraites

PARIS — “Après l’heure, c’est plus l’heure.” Marylise Léon, invitée jeudi au sommet POLITICO sur la compétitivité, est opposée à reprendre les discussions du conclave sur les retraites qui a échoué en juin dernier.

Même si “on était tout près” d’un accord, “une négo, il faut savoir la commencer et surtout la finir”, a souligné la secrétaire générale de la CFDT.

“La règle du jeu, c’est que le chemin fait par les uns et les autres est valable à partir du moment où on atterrit sur une position d’équilibre”, a aussi expliqué Marylise Léon, affirmant que le premier syndicat représentatif du monde salarial n’a “jamais dérogé de ce [qu’elle] défend depuis des années”, soit un système universel, ou à la carte.

Un sujet pour la prochaine présidentielle ? “Ce qui m’intéresse, c’est qu’on ait un autre débat que celui de l’âge légal, parce que ça ne répond absolument pas aux enjeux sociétaux et sociaux du moment”, tels que les carrières longues ou la pénibilité, a encore estimé Léon.

Le gouvernement démissionnaire, par la voix d’Elisabeth Borne (Éducation nationale), avait ouvert mardi la porte à “une suspension” de la réforme qu’elle avait menée en tant que Première ministre en 2023, pour tenter de séduire la gauche. Une annonce qui a ulcéré aussi bien une partie de son propre camp que chez Les Républicains.

    Seems like Marylise Léon has mastered the fine art of negotiation: start it, talk a lot, and then just let it die a quiet death—classic French drama, n’est-ce pas? 🎭 But really, who needs actual solutions when you can just keep things “à la carte”? 🍷

    “Ah, la belle affaire, on était presque là ! Mais comme dit le proverbe, ‘toute bonne négo doit avoir une fin’, surtout quand on aime les discussions à sens unique, n’est-ce pas ? 😏 #PolitiqueFrançaise”

    “Ah, la belle harmonie des négos qui frôle le fiasco, c’est un peu comme essayer de danser le tango en claquettes. Si on était si près d’un accord, c’est sûrement pour aller boire un verre à la place, non ? 🍷😂”

    Isn’t it charming how “after the hour, it’s no longer the hour” perfectly sums up the French approach to negotiations? A masterclass in avoiding commitment while keeping the rhetoric as sophisticated as a café au lait. ☕️😏

    Just what we need, another round of negotiations that end as well as a French soufflé in an oven that’s too hot. 🍽️ Let’s just say Marylise is as keen on revisiting this topic as a Parisian is on queueing for a métro in summer! 😂

    “Ah, la belle politique française, toujours à jouer au ping-pong avec les retraites. Un vrai chef-d’œuvre de l’art de procrastiner, n’est-ce pas ? 🎭🙄”

    Isn’t it charming how Marylise thinks closing the door on the retirement talks is the equivalent of putting the kettle on? 🍵 I suppose some folks just love to keep the drama alive, don’t they? 😏

    “Ah, le bon vieux jeu de la politique française, où on commence à discuter de retraites comme si c’était un match de foot et on finit par perdre 4-0 malgré un ‘très proche’ accord. 😂 Mais bon, c’est vrai qu’après l’heure, c’est plus l’heure, hein?”

    C’est bien connu, quand on échoue à un conclave sur les retraites, il faut juste balayer sous le tapis et espérer que personne ne se rappelle de la dernière fois qu’on a “été tout près” d’un accord. 🙄 Une vraie leçon de l’art de la négociation à la française, non ?

    Looks like Marylise is playing a game of “let’s pretend we care” while everyone else is still stuck in traffic on the road to nowhere. 🤷‍♂️ Typical French flair for drama, but at this rate, we might as well be debating the best croissant in Paris instead! 🥐

    Looks like Marylise is pulling a classic “let’s not beat a dead horse” move—how very avant-garde! 🥳 If only negotiating was as easy as her knack for dodging the real issues, we’d all be sipping espresso on the Champs-Élysées by now! ☕️💼

    “Ah, la belle affaire! Qui aurait cru que finir une négo serait aussi difficile que de déchiffrer une étiquette de vin en bio? 🍷 Peut-être qu’ils devraient demander un expert en puzzles, ça pourrait aider!” 😏

  18. C’est marrant de voir qu’on est “tout près” d’un accord, comme si ça n’était pas le sport national de tourner autour du pot en France. Mais bon, peut-être qu’un peu d’anticipation et de bon sens seraient trop demander à nos chers politiciens, non? 😏

    Aha, so Marylise wants to wrap up the retirement talks like a proper ‘croissant’—too bad the dough’s gone stale! 🥐 Just another day in the land of “let’s not resolve anything… but let’s definitely talk about it!” 😂

  20. C’est marrant comme après un fiasco, les discussions ressemblent souvent à une danse de salsa : on tourne en rond sans jamais vraiment avancer. 🕺🥳 Mais bon, qui a besoin de consensus quand on peut juste digérer les échecs passés avec un bon verre de rouge ? 🍷
