Parliamentarians rejected the draft government budget for Social Security on Friday afternoon in committee, despite the elimination of several irritating elements, and the approval of the article that suspends the pension reform. A warm-up lap before arriving at the chamber.
After rejecting the revenue part earlier in the week, MPs rejected the expenditure part, thus repealing the entire bill. It will reach the chamber on Tuesday, in its initial version proposed by the government.
Suspension of pension reform approved
This Friday, the deputies also approved in committee the suspension of pension reform proposed by the government to escape the censorship of the PS, despite the reluctance of the government sector and part of the left, which denounces a farce of suspension.
Inserted in the Social Security budget, the article on the suspension of the 2023 reform, which gradually raised the legal starting age to 64 years, was approved by 22 votes to 12. The National Rally and the socialists voted in favor.
This suspension would cost 100 million euros in 2026 and 1.4 billion euros in 2027, according to the government.
