What was the political climate in France on the morning of 29 May 1968?
9h, 9h30. Le meilleur des grands dossiers de l'histoire avec Franck Ferrand. Sur Radio Classique. Mercredi 29 May 1968, on the matin Paris calm. It's a calm a bit in suspension, because after a semaine, we said that the France is in train of vacillation, to tangues.
The 27 mai, Lavant Veil, the Premier Ministry, Georges Pompidou, a negotiated the famous accord of Grenelle, which prevoced a hausses of salaire important. Seems on the impression that the leviers are cassés, we never have. The contestation continues in dépit of the grand concessions that have been fitted by the patronat sous l'égide des pouvoirs public. Bref. Alors, what is the ambiance au Palais de l'Elysée? Ambiance étrange, a bitouffé. The 24, the General de Gaulle has announced a referendum on the participation, and he did that if he was battu, he partiray. In fact, rien has changed. The general has l'air d'être un peu dépassé by the evening. On parle de celui qui a toujours réponse à tout, là he is un peu fatigué visiblement.
He comprends. That jeunesse qui est en train de réclamer la fin d'un monde dont, honnêtement, avec son épouse Yvonne, il est devenu le symbole, le symbole d'une espèce de France conservatrice, un peu rigide peut-être. The matin du 29, du 29 mai donc, bien sûr, the president doit evident, comme tous les mercredi, President the Conseil des Ministers had live at 10 hours. At the time, the Conseil of the Ministers was matinal. On arrival, the ministers took a palace desert. And at once hear, too. Like we can pose a question. We can demand where the president is. The general is in his bureau, it is assis, silencious, his collaborators, as distant, but after all the general de Gaulle is distant by nature.
He has a sort of dialogue interior. Jamie deputies the D'ailleurs la veille, le mardi 28 may, the prefet police in person, Maurice Grimaud, a prevenue, desemutions were s'en prends at l'hôtel de ville, voire for certain à l'Elysée, and on dit que certain serait armé, the RG finds their travail.
To sauver the régime en négociant la reprise du travail after the accords de Grenelle, and he voudrait que le général parle au pays. It's his Gaulle parler au pays, qu'il reprenne un peu les choses en main, but no, on a l'impression que de Gaulle est ailleurs.
How did the Grenelle agreements of 27 May influence the unrest that followed?
The two homes have quite parlered on téléphone, the 28, and the general a laissé entendre au Premier Ministry that he had the intention to prend duchant. Inutile to do that, Pompidou has been a bit interlocut by that declaration. He served the retour judi. The Conseil des Ministers could be attended le lendemain. The President tired a proposal as inhabituels that will lay Pompidou très perplexed. Je suis vieux, vous êtes jeune, c'est vous qui êtes l'avenir. Allez, au revoir, je vous embrasse. Alors, pardon, mais le général de Gaulle disant je vous embrasse. On ne peut pas dire que ses collaborateurs are tellement habitués, voyez? Pompidou demanded if it's an if it's a pleasanter. He demanded if the president has an intention to renonce.
After two, he is not late, but he is party at Colombey, at La Boiserie, to reflect. I connected the crisis psychological and the tentation periodic dupart, did Pompidou in his famous memoirs. And I said at what point the atmosphere of Colomboy was propose. Alright, Mercury 29, in the case, Pompidou says that an helicopter has decolled pas long time after midday, so that's three hours the prefet Grimaud said that Colombay. It's not very long.
No, no. The plan of volunteers changed.
And over 14 hours, the secretaire general de l'Elysée, c'est Bernard Tricot at the book, enter from a flèche in the bureau du premier ministre Pompidou. De Gaulle a disparu, Monsieur le Premier ministre. Franck Ferrand sur Radio Classique. Down the couloir of the Elysee, the Matignon, the Ministers. Alright, it's effervescence. The speculation went. If he is at Colombay, who de Gaulle put he is? Alors certain do he is at Versailles, other at Bregançon, but at Taverny.
I would say for the Pierre Mesmer says that the general is party from the West.
