The LFI group “refuses to participate in (the) masquerade” of the new round of consultations that the Government will launch on pensions, opposing the “precondition” of “accepting a lowering of the retirement age,” it said in a statement this Thursday.
The executive announced on Thursday that it would reopen a round of consultations for the approval of a bill on pension reform “before the end of winter”, without ruling out a dissolution of the National Assembly in case of deadlock.
“Emmanuel Macron, isolated and undermined by his own camp, had to withdraw under the assumption of a surreptitious amendment to impose his pension reform. The government now thinks of taking a step back to take a better leap,” the group writes, chaired by Deputy Mathilde. Panot.
We are more than ever ready to rule
But “the new cycle of ‘consultations’ poses as a precondition the acceptance of a postponement of the retirement age. The LFI-Nupes group refuses to participate in this masquerade”, continues the press release.
Faced with the threat of dissolution, “don’t worry: we are more than ever prepared to govern,” says the group, which promises to “replicate by all means within our reach.”
“From Monday in the hemicycle and in all the mobilizations to come. We are going to break into Paris on October 16!” They add in reference to the march that part of the Nupes is preparing for that day.
