Gabriel Attal’s resigned government thus chose not to tighten up the unemployment insurance regulations. In fact, according to AEF Info, these will no longer be implemented until September 30, but until 30 October. “The Council of State requested an extension to October 30 due to political instability”specifies with Thanks for the info Denis Gravouil, responsible for unemployment insurance in the General Confederation of Labor (CGT).

According to a government source relayed by our colleagues, this should be made official in the coming days, “time to notify the social partners and get the final opinion from the Council of State”.
