11:08 : Lively debates took place this morning around sub-amendments tabled by the left but rejected by the government. The socialist, communist and environmental groups have multiplied the points of order to oppose this decision, provoking unusually vehement exchanges at the Luxembourg Palace.
11:03 am : Debates resumed an hour ago in the Senate on Article 9 on hardship… and quickly led to a suspension of the session. The discussions have been very tense since last night, and there are still more than 1,000 amendments to be examined by Sunday at midnight.
10:40 a.m. : Emmanuel Macron will respond to the letter sent to him by the inter-union after the mobilization on Tuesday, learned the political service of France Télévisions at the Elysée. In this letter, the unions asked for a meeting “emergency” at the Elysee.
10:36 : The CGT claims new power cuts. In Thionville (Moselle), the town hall and the court are without power this Friday morning, the officials had to start their working day in the dark, reports France Bleu Lorraine Nord. At Bourget-du-Lac (Savoie), 2,000 customers in the Technolac business area are without electricity, writes France Bleu Pays de Savoie.
10:28 : ? New mobilization against pension reform tomorrow ➡️ “We can win. I call on as many people as possible to participate”, says Julien Bayou. “The challenge is to avoid stealing two years of life from people.” “The government refused all alternative proposals.” https://t.co/nX6CWZzHtz
10:28 : “We can win, I call on as many people as possible to participate” to the mobilization of tomorrow against the pension reform, urged Julien Bayou on franceinfo. “The challenge is to avoid stealing two years of life from people”according to the Green MP.
09:42 : Good morning @Mimiesterel, professionals in the sector believe that there is no risk of a general shortage in the immediate future, even if some service stations are in difficulty with their supply. Fuel shipments are still stuck at refineries. However, there are 200 depots in France which continue to supply the stations.
09:41 : Good morning. For refinery blockages, risk of shortage?
09:35 : For Philippe Martinez, the use of article 49.3 would justify the continuation of the social movement https://t.co/1LvudOmWHD
09:34 : “If this text passed, it would endanger democracy.”
“It would be very serious, including for democracy, to pass a text of this importance with a 49.3”insists Philippe Martinez on BFMTV.
09:20 : With the approval of the government, the Senate has however voted for a novelty: an improved pension for mothers who have accumulated the annuities required at 63, but who will have to wait until the legal age of 64 to retire. They may benefit from a premium of up to 5%.
08:20 : Hello @Quid, with the reform, it will still be possible for private sector employees to benefit from an increase of four quarters for maternity and four others for the education of the child. Note that this system is less advantageous in the public sector, as we explain in this article.
08:17 : Good morning. In the context of the pension reform, what happens to the 4 quarters acquired for maternity (which were attributed to the mother) and the 4 quarters acquired for education (which the parents could divide between themselves)?
08:10 : .@pierremoscovici, pdt @Courdescomptes: “A reform was necessary to finance pensions. Unquestionably, there is a deficit. But it is up to social democracy to play its role.” ?? #ReformeDesRetraites #Les4V https://t.co/tqFPTd3PxO
08:16 : A pension reform was “necessary” to finance the system, estimates Pierre Moscovici, the president of the Court of Auditors, on the set of “4 Truths” of France 2. “Unquestionably, there is a deficit.”
07:43 : The strike is also renewed “at all TotalEnergies refining sites and at the oil depot in Flanders”, reports Eric Sellini, national coordinator of the CGT for TotalEnergies, on franceinfo. The social movement is therefore continuing in the refineries of Gonfreville-l’Orcher (Seine-Maritime), La Mède (Bouches-du-Rhône), Donges (Loire-Atlantique), Feyzin (Rhône) as well as at the depot oil tanker from Flanders to Mardyck (North), specifies the trade unionist.
07:36 : The strike is renewed at the Esso-ExxonMobil refinery in Fos-sur-Mer (Bouches-du-Rône), announces Christophe Aubert, CGT central union representative, with franceinfo.

06:21 : With still more than 1,000 amendments to examine, the Senate will have to work twice as hard to be able to vote for the reform by Sunday at midnight. Debates will resume this morning at 9.40 a.m.
06:19 : “In application of article 44 paragraph 2 of the Constitution, the government opposes the examination of all the sub-amendments tabled on the rapporteur’s amendment 2132 which have not been submitted to the examination of the commission”, announces @OlivierDussopt#RéformeDesRetraites https://t.co/PX0GeNpH5P
06:19 : Denouncing a “obvious desire to obstruct”the Minister of Labour, Olivier Dussopt, had recourse to article 44.2 of the Constitution to remove the 155 sub-amendments tabled immediately by the left.
06:16 : At the origin of this standstill: the request of a senator Les Républicains, Catherine Deroche, to give priority to one of her amendments, a measure which automatically brought down about sixty others from the left. Accusing the right of wanting to accelerate at the expense of the debate, the left has chained reminders of the rules.
06:13 : The Senate progressed laboriously yesterday evening in the examination of the pension reform. The debates got bogged down during the examination of article 9 devoted to arduous work. Suspensions of sittings and points of order have multiplied, against a backdrop of cross-accusations of“insincerity” and D’“obstruction”.
