Damaged by its internal quarrels, but strengthened by the challenge of the pension reform, the PS hopes to regain momentum in the National Assembly this Thursday with a series of legislative proposals, including a text for the “nationalization” of EDF without the risk of ” dismantling”. .
They had unsuccessfully tried to scrap it for one more day on pensions, but the Socialist deputies intend to take advantage of this day reserved for their texts to win a trophy at the end of the debates at midnight.
At its height: a bill to nationalize EDF to “end a 25-year neoliberal cycle of deregulation of the public energy service,” according to its author Philippe Brun.
EDF Bill
In commission, he had his text adopted by a coalition of opposition deputies, including from the right, against the presidential camp. The deputies also opened up to artisans, in particular bakers, the benefit of a “specific TPE tariff shield”. However, most raised risks of inadmissibility. The commission office is due to meet this Thursday morning to decide.
It remains to be seen whether or not the attendance at the Chamber, particularly from the LR side, will allow the adoption of the text at first reading.
To reach this possible trophy faster, the Socialists gave up on Thursday defending their tax on super-profits, condemned a priori by the firm opposition of the presidential camp and the right. It will return for “modification of the pension reform”, insists its rapporteur Christine Pirès Beaune.
The Socialists could, except by surprise, start the day by getting a commission of inquiry into the cost of living abroad. So they should fight a lot more for student meals.
After the EDF, the deputies will consider a text by Isabelle Santiago to “automatically” withdraw parental authority in the event of a conviction for incestuous assault, a crime against the child or the other parent, except for a reasoned decision by the judge. Approved unanimously in committee, it also provides for the automatic suspension of the parental authority of the defendants.
A text about influencers
If time allows, MEPs will consider a text on influential people. Acclaimed in commission, it proposes, among other things, to prohibit the promotion of medical devices, surgical procedures, in particular aesthetic ones, but also sports betting, or even alcoholic beverages. Whatever their destination on Thursday, these measures must be proposed in March in a joint text by Arthur Delaporte (PS) and Stéphane Vojetta (Renaissance).
Also on the Thursday program: a text approved in the committee for the issuance of protection orders, and the doubling of their maximum duration to twelve months, in order to better protect women victims of domestic violence.
Finally, Gérard Leseul will have to defend a constitutional bill for the creation of an environmental defender. His proposal had not been adopted by the Legal Commission.
