"Let each parliamentarian take his responsibilities," pleaded the spokesman for the communist deputies Sébastien Jumel to the press. Twenty hours before the end of discussions in the Assembly on the pension reform project, the PCF announced that it was withdrawing all its amendments up to Article 7, that is to say some 350 amendments, so that we can discuss raising the legal age before the exam deadline on Friday evening, calling on all other parliamentarians to do the same.
Majority and government "want to circumvent the parliamentary debate" and avoid addressing article 7 on the postponement of the retirement age from 62 to 64, said his colleague Pierre Dharréville, judging that "the most effective decision" was the withdrawal of the amendments to expedite. Within the left alliance Nupes, there is "consensus on the fact that the heart (of the reform) must be debated" in the hemicycle, assured Mr. Jumel, while tactical differences may have appeared.
Some 4,000 to 5,000 amendments remain to be discussed before tackling Article 7, many of them coming from the Rebellious, who have already withdrawn hundreds of their proposals. The pace accelerated Thursday morning in the hemicycle, with left-wing elected officials who chose not to intervene on each amendment and a session president, Valérie Rabault (PS), who more strictly applied the regulations on catches of speech.
The left considered "incomprehensible" the long career system, with 43 or 44 years of contribution depending on the age of entry into the world of work before 21 years old. It's "totally insane, give or take six months, you take a year up or down, haphazardly." Do you intend to continue to play dice for people's lives, "attacked LFI Hadrien Clouet. "Long careers are in Article 8, the answers can be provided. This morning, you have taken a good rhythm, you are a little less in the obstruction, we can get there, "replied the Minister of Public Accounts Gabriel Attal.
