race against the clock in the Assembly to study the remaining 18 articles

Can the main article of the pension reform bill be examined before Friday? “The clock is ticking, there are five days left for deputies to examine this pension reform. A final sprint which promises to be tense in particular between the presidential majority and the left, who have gone blow for blow in recent days and who accuse each other of slowing down the debates“, reports journalist Hugo Capelli, in duplex from the National Assembly in Paris, Sunday February 12.

Text sent Friday at midnight to the Senate

In all likelihood, “it will not be possible to go to the end of this pension reform text, since there are still more than 16,000 amendments to go through, more than 18 articles to study“, continues the journalist. Among them, the most important, article 7, the one which pushes back the legal age of departure to 64 years. Friday at midnight, the reform will be sent to the Senate, which will examine it in turn at the beginning March.
