Pension reform: the issue of the examination in the Assembly of article 7 on the postponement of the retirement age

Monday, February 13, the debates on the pension reform in the National Assembly enter their second and last week. The journalist Guillaume Daret, present on the set of 8 Hours, explains that there are still 15,867 amendments to be examined for the deputies. “Friday at midnight, it’s over for the National Assembly. The text goes to the Senate”explains Guillaume Daret.

“The famous article 7”

“The central issues will therefore be in particular whether the Assembly has the time to examine and decide on the famous article 7, the one which provides for the postponement of the retirement age to 64 years old”continues the journalist. “The oppositions will obviously try to outvote the government. It would be a considerable earthquake because it is the emblematic article”he adds. Guillaume Daret explains that the majority also has an interest in this article being examined, because “this is concretely what will change people’s daily lives”. “It will depend in particular on whether or not the Nupes decides to withdraw a certain number of its amendments”specifies Guillaume Daret.
