Liot’s bill rejected

The presidential majority managed to challenge the Liot group’s bill, which aimed to return to retirement at 62. “Liot is this now famous parliamentary group whose proposal, in its article 1, led to the purely and simply repealing the passage of the retirement age to 64 years”, explains Jeff Wittenberg. The article was rejected on Wednesday May 31 in the Social Affairs Committee, “it is in a way the antechamber of the hemicycle where the vote of the deputies takes place”, says the journalist. The Macronist camp was able to count on the support of Les Républicains deputies.

Solutions still exist for the Liot group

But this proposal is not yet buried. “Things can still happen on June 8, this time in the hemicycle. The proposal to repeal the pension law, which went out the door, can come back out the window in the form of an amendment. But the rest is almost written, the majority will use article 40 of the Constitution, on the grounds that this bill would incur new expenses for the State, and that it is therefore not constitutional”, details Jeff Wittenberg on the set of 19/20. It is unlikely that the pension reform will not come into effect on September 1.
