Prevent the storm to try to avoid it. The president of the LFI group Mathilde Panot estimated Thursday that preventing the vote on the text aimed at repealing the pension reform would have an effect “as deflagrating” as the 49.3 used in March to pass this text. “If the government decides to put pressure on the National Assembly so that the bill is declared inadmissible, and therefore that it cannot be examined on June 8, then that will have an effect as deflagrating as 49.3 the had “, she said on BFMTV and RMC.
After the use of this article of the Constitution to pass the pension reform without a vote, “young people came out by the thousands to say: we do not agree with this authoritarian way”, she added. On Wednesday Elisabeth Borne deemed “unconstitutional” the bill brought by the independent parliamentary group Liot aimed at repealing the pension reform, and which is on the menu of the National Assembly on June 8. The groups of the majority wish them to resort to article 40 of the Constitution which makes it possible to raise the financial inadmissibility of the text.
Call for a demonstration on June 6
For Mathilde Panot, “it is not possible to have a government that blocks all democratic issues to the point of preventing us, which would be an extremely serious precedent for our democracy, from discussing a text”. “This pension reform poisons Emmanuel Macron’s five-year term. Do you think they can go on for another four years like this? Do you think people will turn the page? (…) It is out of the question, ”she added.
Calling to be “very numerous and numerous on June 6 in the street at the call of the inter-union” for the 14th day of demonstrations against the pension reform, she said she was certain that “on June 8 there will be a voting”. “This vote will be a fulcrum in our extremely important balance of power. I remind you that it is the National Assembly which has the last word in our parliamentary democracy”, underlined Mathilde Panot.
Asked about the same subject, the deputy RN Jean-Philippe Tanguy said his hope “that the macronists will not rot this day, will not prevent the debate”. “It would reopen a conflict in France, it would put salt on a scar which is obviously not closed, contrary to what Madame Borne believes”, he added on Franceinfo.
