Tense exchange by media interposed between the majority and the independent group Liot. Despite its promulgation in mid-April, the pension reform continues to create a stir. The Liot group hopes to have the starting setback at 64 repealed with a bill which must be examined in the hemicycle on June 8. “We warn the government, the President of the Republic and the relative majority on the really grotesque and ridiculous nature of an obstruction”, launched in front of journalists Bertrand Pancher, the president of this group of twenty elected officials.
Within the majority, deputies do not hide their concern about the outcome of a vote. Aurore Bergé once again called for the mobilization of her troops so as not to run out of votes on June 8, knowing that the text will only need a simple majority to be adopted. The leader of the Renaissance group also questioned Tuesday the admissibility of this bill: “She lies to the French. The deputies of the Liot group (…) know full well that even if it were to be adopted, this bill would not go to the end. »
“The strength of the people”
To which Charles de Courson, Liot deputy for Marne and rapporteur of the bill, replied the next day : “The last word is with the National Assembly which is the only representative of the French people, in a democracy it is the strength of the people. It is up to the representatives of the people, the National Assembly, to decide on this affair. “Through this bill, “for the first time the National Assembly will decide” on the pension reform, he also pleaded.
The bill to repeal the postponement to 64 of the legal retirement age will be on the menu of the “parliamentary niche” of the Liot group on June 8, a day during which he can dictate the agenda. of the public session.
