Jean-Claude Mailly, who left the head of Force Ouvrière in April, resigns to sit on the European Economic and Social Council, where he had to take a FO mandate in August, he announced Wednesday in a tweet.

"To be true to my views on freedom, responsibility and to continue to freely defend my ideas, I decided not to sit for the European Economic and Social Committee for FO," he tweeted.

His appointment in this case made his teeth cringe at FO, even more so after Mr. Mailly joined the consulting firm of Raymond Soubie, former adviser to Nicolas Sarkozy.

His successor, Pascal Pavageau, had recently reported "anger" activists when they had learned that he was going to join this consulting company.

"There is a real anger, a real internal groan to FO, activists who tell me:" since Jean -Claude Mailly had self-de signed at the European Union (as FO, ed) there is an incompatibility between such a professional choice (…) and the fact of keeping a mandate to Force Ouvrière ", had explained on Public Sénat.

M. Pavageau then refrained from commenting, simply evoking "choices to make" for his predecessor. The pbadage of relay between Mr. Mailly, 14 years at the head of FO, and Pascal Pavageau took place end of April in an electric atmosphere.
