For Yaël Braun-Pivet, the numbers are not good. The Renaissance President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet evaluated Tuesday at “9,000” the number of amendments to be withdrawn so that the flagship measure of the pension reform, the postponement of the departure to 64 years instead of 62, can be debated.

“There are 14,000 left (…) but yes, it would take almost 9,000 to be removed” to reach article 7 which includes the age measurement, she estimated on RTLinviting “everyone to pull themselves together”.

A “parliamentary guerrilla”

She accused “a group of rebellious deputies, obviously not all of them because we must not mix things up” which, according to her, leads a “strategy of obstruction”, of “personal attacks”, of “parliamentary guerrilla warfare”. , “aggressiveness”, “invective”, “sometimes insults”.

After more than a week of debate on this very controversial reform and which brought together in the street several times more than a million demonstrators, article 2 had still not been adopted. The debates are bogged down under the flood of amendments, nearly 18,000 tabled, including around 13,000 only by rebellious France.

On Monday, leftist deputies announced that they were giving up a thousand amendments to speed up the pace. Whether or not the deputies have completed the examination of the bill, the discussions will end Friday at midnight on first reading. The text will then go to the Senate. It is indeed a budgetary text and the government has used article 47-1 of the Constitution to limit the time for parliamentary debates.
