After several hours of electric discussions, punctuated by the speeches of various deputies, the motion of no confidence by the Liot group (Freedoms, Independents, Overseas and Territories) finally did not obtain a sufficient number of votes. Of the 287 votes required, 278 were obtained. Therefore, it was rejected by nine votes.
A second motion, presented by the deputies members of the Rassemblement national, must also be voted on. Control weapon for parliamentarians, this provision can, if adopted, lead to the resignation of the government, and in this case to the rejection of the bill.
If this second motion is not approved either, then the pension reform will be considered approved. The oppositions have warned that they will present appeals before the Constitutional Council, which can censor part or all of the text. Once these resources have been examined, the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, will be able to promulgate the bill.
