“Do I look like I want to turn the page?”, says Frédéric Souillot (FO) about the rest of the mobilization

Frédéric Souillot’s warning to Yaël Braun-Pivet

On June 8, the Liot group’s bill to repeal the postponement of the retirement age to 64 will be examined in the National Assembly. Article 1, which provides for this repeal, was reintroduced by amendment by the Socialist Group, but the President of the Chamber, Yaël Braun-Pivet, has already indicated that she would block the vote on such an amendment, on the grounds of article 40 of the Constitution. “If she goes into this field, the only thing she will do is show everyone that the National Assembly is not the Parliament where we must debate, but just a recording chamber. And when the executive doesn’t want there to be something recorded, they block it.”warned Frédéric Souillot.
