what is the process now?

The pension reform law has been passed, does this mean that it will necessarily be applied? “The pension file is not yet closed, deputies and senators have already announced that they will file appeals before the Constitutional Council tomorrow“, announces Hugo Capelli, on the set of 8 p.m., Monday March 20. “Parliamentarians must be at least 60 to seize the Constitutional Council which, in theory, can censor in part or in whole the pension reform“, adds the journalist.

Shared initiative referendum

The French institution then has one month to study the request of the elected officials, “which have certain parts of the text in their sights, such as the senior index. For its part, the government can also ask the Constitutional Council to speed up the procedure in just eight days.“, explains Hugo Capelli. The left is also trying to launch a referendum to ensure that the legal retirement age remains at 62.”It is the ultimate weapon of the opposition. 252 parliamentarians propose a referendum of shared initiative, so that it is impossible to postpone the legal age of retirement beyond 62 years“, indicates the journalist. The conformity of this proposal will be verified by the Constitutional Council. “If so, 4.87 million voters will have to vote for it, within nine months.“, specifies Hugo Capelli.
