09:07 : The President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, announces that the motion of censure tabled by the National Rally will be examined “tonight, from midnight”. Let’s go for a marathon day.
09:04 : “Hello everyone, the session is open. The bell has rung in the National Assembly and the deputies are resuming the examination of the amending social security financing law for 2023. The debates can be followed on the Palais Bourbon website.
09:10 : @AlainE: Another possibility for the executive: it can always draw Article 49.3 of the Constitution to have the text adopted without a vote, since this reform is presented within the framework of a budgetary text (a bill for the amending financing of Social Security). But the presidential camp wishes to avoid reaching that point.
09:06 : @AlainE: Good morning. Indeed, the Constitution provides that, if the debates drag on beyond 50 days, ie after March 26, the government will be able to implement the provisions of its reform by ordinances. It never happened.
08:48 : Hello FI, and once again, thank you for your work…and your patience in the face of insults ;-)You write that the AN will have the last word, but it seems to me that the government can, in the event of a final blockage , go through ordinances, so it is he who will have the last word?
08:48 : “It’s not on the last day, after two weeks of debate, that we delete all his obstruction amendments to look good.”
On franceinfo, the minister delegate believes that the Nupes lacked “serious” during the review of the text and “blocked the democratic debate”.
08:40 : @Nicolas De Rycke: We have just asked the question of a possible extension this weekend to Franck Riester, the Minister Delegate in charge of Relations with Parliament. “What’s the point? There are thousands of obstruction amendments left”he replies, visibly in a hurry to get it over with, pointing out that “the Senate awaits the text”.
08:40 : France Info seems to be focusing on the vote on article 7 of the retirement law. The solution now seems simple since we are almost there: lengthen the debates. Who is obstructing this solution?
08:37 : If the deputies and senators do not find an agreement in the joint committee, the bill will make a new return trip between the two chambers, and the National Assembly will have the last word, by March 26.
08:33 : What will become of the bill after its passage through the National Assembly? One certainty: he will go to the Senate, where he should be examined in the Chamber from March 2 to 12. Deputies and senators will then try to find a compromise, which could lead to final adoption in mid-March.
08:27 : “The €1200 was easy to explain. It’s a measure to revalue small pensions. €33 for new retirees, €56 for old people” @ZemmourMichael, Lecturer in economicshttps://bit.ly /RetreatsGrandflou
08:34 : Do you find it difficult to follow the debates on retirement pensions at 1,200 euros? It all starts with a simple measure, which the government has poorly presented, as summed up by economist Michael Zemmour, critic of the bill, on France 5.
08:00 : The boss of the PS, Olivier Faure, recognizes “tactical differences” between the different groups of the Nupes. “Nor do I want to give the impression this morning that there would be a fundamental divergence: we are all opposed to this pension reform”he points out.
07:51 : “I would prefer that each parliamentarian be put before his responsibilities.”
On the set of “4 Truths”, on France 2, the deputy of Seine-et-Marne says “wish that we pass to the examination of this article 7”so that each elected official has to “to assume” in front of his voters his support or his rejection of the government’s project.
07:46 : On the left, we refuse to be accused of playing the game of the RN by agitating in the National Assembly. “What makes the RN game first is government policy”more explicitly denounces the socialist Guillaume Garot, with Margaux Duguet.
07:41 : “They don’t screw up the mess, unlike LFI which messed up the Assembly, and they reaped the benefits.”
Criticizing the “technical weakness of the RN”who has “very little work” the pensions file, this elected representative of the majority confides his concern to see the party of Marine Le Pen gain in respectability.
07:36 : Who will emerge victorious from these nine tense days at the Assembly? Remained very discreet during the debates, the National Rally is counting on this sequence to continue its strategy of demonization, as reported by our journalist Margaux Duguet.

07:28 : Another meeting to follow this morning: the conference of group presidents of the National Assembly must decide, at 8:45 a.m., when the motion of censure tabled by the RN will be discussed. This examination could take place at the end of the evening, or even after midnight.
07:20 : At this stage, more than 3,000 amendments remain to be discussed before even arriving at article 7, of which a good part come from the “rebellious”. This makes an examination of the key point of the reform unlikely, as the debates are due to end at midnight this evening.
07:39 : Opposed to a vote on article 7 of the reform, which contains the measure to postpone the legal age of departure to 64, Jean-Luc Mélenchon addressed the other left-wing parties who criticize this strategy: “We are rebels within an alliance called Nupes, but above all rebels, and we take care of our rebellion.”

07:39 : “We won’t lower our voice, nowhere.”
At a meeting in Montpellier last night, the “rebellious” leader defended the attitude of his group in the National Assembly, both on the maintenance of thousands of amendments and on the verbal outbursts of certain LFI deputies.
07:04 : What are the consequences for the protest in the street? In the aftermath of demonstrations which gathered less than the previous ones, due in particular to the school holidays, the unions already have their eyes turned towards March 7. Explanations by Mathilde Goupil and Marine Cardot.

06:44 : We go to the press review, dominated this morning by the fifth day of mobilization organized yesterday by the inter-union, which threatens to put France “off” March 7.
