Withdrawals: Borne demands “withdrawal” of “obstruction” amendments and end of “invective”

Debates around the pension reform bill remain acrimonious and the National Assembly is seeing an increase in incidents during sessions. It is in this context that Elisabeth Borne called on the opposition on Monday night to withdraw the amendments aimed solely at “obstruction”, according to her, and called on MPs to show more restraint.

Elisabeth Borne called on Monday night, in statements to the press, for the “withdrawal” of the “obstruction” amendments to the pension reform bill being examined in the Assembly, and an end to the “invectives” after a series of incidents in the chamber.

The rebel deputy Thomas Portes was thus excluded for 15 days from the sessions at the Palais-Bourbon after sharing a photo on Thursday that showed him with his foot on a ball with the image of the Minister of Labor. This Monday, his rebel colleague, the parliamentarian Aurélien Saintoul, received a call to order after having described Olivier Dussopt himself as a “murderer”.

Discussions “on the merits”

“We really want there to be a democratic debate on this text, that we can discuss argument against argument, project against project,” the prime minister said.

The latter demands “both the withdrawal of the amendments that have no other purpose than to hinder and delay the progress of the text, as well as that the debates be held in the background and not in the insult.”
