“We are not in a demonstration”: fast-paced start of the debates on the reform before the Assembly

Stormy atmosphere, rule reminders, interruptions and even a brief suspension of the session. The first session of the National Assembly dedicated to examining the pension reform bill opened in a heated atmosphere in the Chamber. These high tension debates should last 15 days.

The debates on the pension reform project began on Monday before the National Assembly in an eruptive climate that immediately caused an interruption. In this context, the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt took the podium, but was unable to start presenting the text. The session had to be suspended for a few minutes before resuming with interventions from the opposition.

Faced with the hubbub and numerous interventions by the opposition, the president of the Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, even exclaimed: “We are not in a demonstration, we are not in an amphitheatre, we are in the hemicycle of the National Assembly!” “Is it going to be like this for 15 days?” she also dove to the left of her.

points of order

The deputies must decide in the afternoon on a request for rejection of the text brought by LFI, then a request for a referendum on the reform of the RN group. The session began with a series of points of order, with other opposition MPs demanding that their own referendum request, submitted in extremisbe presented.

Charles de Courson, from the independent group Liot, which is in the initiative with representatives of six political groups, denounced “a denial of democracy”, to which the Nupes leaders joined.

But to the boos, Yaël Braun-Pivet opposed the decision made last week at the conference of presidents of the Assembly. There had been a tie between the RN motion and a previous motion by Nupes, which the RN won.

The oppositions vociferously challenged this response, each standing up brandishing the regulation. Yaël Braun-Pivet adjourned the session to allow Labor Minister Olivier Dussopt to speak in peace.
