Elisabeth Borne will seize the Constitutional Council “as soon as possible” for an examination of the text

For the government, it is urgent. The Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, will seize “directly the Constitutional Council” for an exam “as soon as possible” of the text of the pension reform, announced Matignon, Monday, March 20, following the adoption of the pension reform. At the end of the day, the deputies rejected the two motions of censure tabled against the government, resulting in the adoption of the reform.

The Chief Executive wishes that “all the points raised during the debates can be examined” added Matignon, in reference to the challenge by some parliamentarians of the constitutionality of several measures. The left has declared that it wishes to seize the Constitutional Council, contesting in particular the fact that this reform can be carried out through a draft amendment to the Social Security budget.

The Constitutional Council must also examine the admissibility of a request for a referendum of shared initiative, initiated by the left to contest the government’s project, and which was submitted to it on Monday.
