Aurore Bergé criticizes “an obvious failure” by Éric Coquerel

The Renaissance deputies left the hemicycle of the National Assembly, Thursday, February 9, while a socialist bill against the “dismantling” of EDF and for the extension of the price shield to bakers had to be voted on. The text was then adopted. “Today we have a chairman of the Finance Committee in the National Assembly who is an Insoumis president, Éric Coquerel, who is required to respect the Constitution. He has an additional responsibility, to ensure respect, when an amendment is tabled , that it is in conformity with the Constitution. What he refused to do”explains Aurore Bergé, president of the Renaissance group in the National Assembly, guest of the “4 Truths” of France 2, Friday February 10.

Pension reform: “I am neither afraid of the debate nor of the vote”

The deputy of Yvelines evokes an amendment “creating a charge of an additional 18 billion euros. Which is totally unconstitutional”. “Faced with an obvious failure by the chairman of the Finance Committee, who made the Assembly a masquerade, we preferred to leave our benches”she adds, assuring that “The question is not to lose or to win” the vote.

The government’s pension reform project is under debate in the National Assembly. Article 7, which increases the starting age from 62 to 64, could it not be discussed before the passage of the law in the Senate? “It is the responsibility of the oppositions, we have not tabled thousands of amendments preventing discussion. […] I am not afraid of the debate or the vote”says Aurore Bergé.
