This is one of the thorny issues of the executive. The government is studying “all tracks” to get his pension reform adopted, “including the track that would lead us to propose a reform through the Social Security financing bill” for 2023, said government spokesman Olivier Véran on Wednesday September 14.
This eventuality “would not rule out broad consultation with all of civil society and social partners”he assured. Olivier Véran estimated that there was time for consultation before “the presentation of the budgetary texts which will only take place on September 26 during the Council of Ministers”.
Many members of the majority are already convinced that it will be necessary to go through article 49.3 of the Constitution to have the budget adopted, for lack of an absolute majority in the Assembly. Olivier Véran meanwhile reaffirmed “willingness” of the government “to work with the oppositions and the majority upstream, to co-construct what can be, without denying the great fundamental principles which underlie the mandate of the President of the Republic, that is to say no increases in ‘taxes and no increase in debt’.
