An “almost nihilistic” and “empty” project. These are the terms chosen by the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt to describe Liot’s text, initially intended to repeal retirement at 64, and examined this Thursday in the National Assembly.
“In this bill there is only denial and emptiness to offer. You are not offering anything else to discard because you do not have a common alternative project,” Olivier Dussopt launched into the opposition in a stormy atmosphere.
And with good reason: Yaël Braun-Pivet, president of the Lower House, declared inadmissible on Wednesday the opposition amendments that seek to reintroduce the measure to repeal retirement at 64, itself repealed by the macronistas in the affairs commission social. .
“We can be proud of this reform”
The rapporteur of the text, the deputy Liot Charles de Courson, denounced a “serious political mistake” and pointed out a “denial of democracy”. In return, Olivier Dussopt approached the latter, accused of “having made the wrong fight” and “allies” for having “conceded to the National Front as to La France insoumise”.
The minister also defended his camp, evoking the “democratic path” of the text, voted in the Senate but not in the National Assembly. “We can be proud of this reform,” he said.
“Proud because it saves the pay-as-you-go system, proud because it guarantees the most vulnerable a pension when they reach retirement age, proud because we are thus helping to protect one of the largest social mechanisms.”
And the ex-socialist to estimate that “the rejection of article 1”, including the repealing measure, is a decision of “public interest”.
