The bosses facing Borne, negotiations on the American debt and arrests in Guyana

Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.

Elisabeth Borne continues her meetings with the social partners in order to relaunch the social dialogue. Before receiving this Tuesday the Union of local businesses (U2P), the Prime Minister received Monday at Matignon employers’ organizations, the Medef and the CPME, who informed her of the post-pension reform subjects on which they were willing to negotiate. For the Medef, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux said he was “ready to discuss the employment of seniors”, but not a possible revision of work orders or pensions. “I felt someone was listening”, eager “to find the subjects likely to be negotiated between social partners” and to “turn the page” on pensions, for his part underlined François Asselin, president of the Confederation of Small and Medium Enterprises (CPME), about Elisabeth Borne.

In Washington, the executive is working to ward off the specter of a global financial crisis. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen indeed recalled on Monday that it was “very likely” that the United States would find themselves short of public money after June 1. Faced with the threat of an American default, Joe Biden and opposition leader Kevin McCarthy wanted to believe in a way out of the crisis on Monday, but their disagreements have not yet been overcome. “I have just completed a productive meeting” with the Republican boss of the House of Representatives, said the American president in a press release, calling for negotiations “in good faith” to find a budget compromise. There are now 10 days left in the White House to find a way out of the crisis.

In the investigation into the death on March 25 in Guyana of gendarme Arnaud Blanc, there are now six people arrested, including the man suspected of being the shooter. Two men, aged 28 and 32, suspected of being involved in this tragedy, were arrested by the Brazilian police as they tried to flee to this country, the French gendarmerie said on Monday. These arrests took place on Friday on the Oyapock River, which marks the border between the French department and Brazil, said the command of the gendarmerie of Guyana. “The investigations are continuing, there will surely be other people to hear,” he added.
