In an interview with the newspaper Le Parisien, this Sunday, François Bayrou said to be “oopposed to forced passage” on the pension reform. The boss of the Modem makes its difference heard in the presidential majority on this sensitive subject. “If we embark on this path, then we are sure to first unite the oppositions between them, then to divide French society.“, says François Bayrou in the form of a warning, calling for “pedagogical time“.
Avoid an amendment in the next bill
The mayor of Pau wants to avoid an amendment in the social security financing bill this fall and instead hopes for a debate to come to a consensus next year. Emmanuel Macron wants the pension reform to be adopted by the summer of 2023.
Disunited majority on the subject?
The presidential party which formalized its name change from “En Marche” to “Renaissance” on Saturday evening in Paris was quite annoyed by the exit of this majority partner. Bruno Le Maire refutes any desire to force a passage, Aurore Bergé, president of the Renaissance group in the National Assembly, asks to let the deputies work on this file. And the Minister of Industry Roland Lescure also wanted to be reassuring on Saturday evening: “There will not be a vote missing when the reform passes through parliament“, but the majority is less united than expected on this issue.
