Article 1 on the disappearance of the majority of the special regimes validated in committee, after seven hours of debate: many deputies began to examine the highly contested pension reform project on Monday. Most of the existing special regimes, including those of the RATP, the electricity and gas industries and the Banque de France, will be extinguished, the government project foresees.
The presidential majority defended a principle of “equity between regimes” while the Nupes criticized a “leveling down” and “brutality” towards the affected personnel. “Come to the pickets” to assess the difficulty of these exchanges, invited Danielle Simonnet (LFI). These elected representatives of the left have sought in vain to delay this demise or to preserve certain regimes.
7,000 amendments tabled
The tone rose several times, when they referred to the national day of mobilization on Tuesday. “We have the right to speak (about it), whether they like it or not,” launched the Insoumise Caroline Fiat. The communist Sébastien Jumel has provoked the ire of many colleagues during the discussion on the regime of the electricity and gas industries: “If we cut off their juice for 2-3 hours on their hotlines, I don’t want to hear them cry.” declared the elected representative of Seine-Maritime.
“Don’t provoke,” the president of the commission Fadila Khattabi (Renaissance) told him, when another macronista accused him of “warming up public opinion in white.” In the morning, the socialist Arthur Delaporte had immediately asked for “additional days” of examination of the reform project, while some 7,000 amendments have been presented – including 6,000 from the left and 1,200 inadmissible – and that the commission will complete its work on Wednesday night . .
But 28 hours in total on commission is “a considerable amount of time,” Fadila Khattabi replied. Whether or not the text in committee is approved, it will be examined in the Chamber from February 6, for two weeks. “Everyone knows what is going to happen, even in a public session,” blew Charles de Courson (Liot Group), lamenting the vector chosen by the executive, a draft amending budget for the Secu. In fact, the government will be able to transmit the text to the Senate at the end of these two weeks, even if the Assembly has not adopted it. In total, Parliament has 50 days to decide.
