Unsurprisingly, the joint committee on the government’s pension reform turned out to be conclusive. An announcement welcomed by the executive that will defend the text in the Senate and the National Assembly on Thursday.
“After the examination of each assembly, 7 deputies and 7 senators of various sensibilities agreed and proposed a common text to preserve our pension system,” the head of government tweeted.
Olivier Dussopt also “welcomed” the positive conclusion of the joint joint committee. “We will be there in the Senate and then in the National Assembly to confirm these conclusions,” added the Minister of Labor on his Twitter account.
Finally, Franck Riester was also “delighted” with this agreement reached between deputies and senators: “this parliamentary commitment shows that there is indeed a majority to vote in favor of this text.”
Vote Thursday in the Senate and then in the Assembly
Deputies and senators reached an agreement on Wednesday in the mixed commission (CMP), on a common version of the pension reform project, which must still obtain the favorable vote of the Senate and the Assembly on Thursday to be adopted, unless the government decides to use 49.3.
This agreement, obtained by 10 votes to 4, was expected: the joint joint commission that brings together 7 deputies and 7 senators is mainly made up of parliamentarians in favor of raising the legal age from 62 to 64 years.
Whether the bill is to be voted on Thursday morning by the Senate, which has already approved it on first reading, its approval by the Assembly remains uncertain.
