Socialist deputies will vote on Thursday to repeal the pension reform promoted by the Insoumis, although this would be equivalent to sacrificing another reform promoted by PS minister Marisol Touraine in 2013, the head of the PS group in the Assembly said on Sunday. Boris Vallaud.
Rebellious France will present on Thursday in the chamber the annulment of Élisabeth Borne’s reform of March 2023 that raised the retirement age to 64 years. And it also proposes reducing the contribution period necessary to retire from 43 to 42 years, a provision introduced during the five-year term of François Hollande.
“I think we should return to the legal age of 62 and maintain the Touraine reform,” Boris Vallaud explained on Sunday on the Political Questions program (France inter/Le Monde/France TV), referring to his “attachment” to this reform. “which is accompanied by measures on long runs and hardship.”
“A very, very powerful political signal”
“In the chamber, we will vote in favor of the restoration of the Touraine reform”, through an amendment presented by the Liot group, “but we will also vote, even if (the suppression) were maintained, the repeal of the Madame Borne reform.” , he added.
Questioned on BFMTV, the leader of the LFI deputies, Mathilde Panot, was confident in the result of Thursday’s vote: “we are going to refuel and we will also win next Thursday,” she assured, while the entire left, such as the Group National, should support the bill.
“And secondly, I hope that the Macronists get it into their heads, we cannot govern against the people, in particular by imposing by force a reform that nobody wants,” he insisted.
If voted on Thursday, the repeal proposal would have to be included on the Senate agenda on January 23, on the occasion of a communist niche, and then in second reading in the Assembly on February 6, this time in a dedicated niche to environmentalists.
Faced with the threat of the reform being undone, the Macronists have yet to decide their strategy. Could they hinder Thursday by submitting thousands of amendments to prevent a vote? “Of course not,” promised government spokesperson Maud Bregeon in an interview with Le Parisien.
