“Ashamed.” This Friday night, the general secretary of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, harshly criticized the behavior of the deputies on Twitter. Despite repeated requests from unions and hundreds of thousands of French, parliamentarians did not address article 7 of the pension reform. The text, which was not voted on, must now be examined by the Senate.
“Millions of protesters against the 64 years in a beautiful democratic exercise imbued with calm, dignity and responsibility. Meanwhile, the National Assembly puts on a lamentable spectacle, in contempt for the workers”, laments Laurent Berger.
New confusion on Friday night
Because the debates ended in confusion. The Assembly concluded on Friday at midnight, without a vote, the first reading examination of the pension reform project, in another imbroglio over long careers, and must now continue the examination of the text in the Senate.
The debate on the emblematic reform of Emmanuel Macron ended at the time established by the Constitution, at midnight on the dot.
Throughout the evening, the debate focused on the contribution period of retirees who can benefit from the “long career” regime, that is, those who joined the world of work before the age of 21. Forty-three or 44? The issue has not been clearly resolved.
“The government will seize from the Senate the text that it initially presented, modified by the amendments voted by its Assembly,” announced Labor Minister Olivier Dussopt, his voice hoarse.
“Vous m’avez insulté 15 jours, personne n’a craqué et nous sommes là devant vous pour la réforme”, at-il lancé, furieux, aux députés LFI, quittant l’hémicycle, certains chantant “on est là, we are here “.
