The agreement, obtained after more than eight hours of debate, with 10 votes against 4, was expected, the joint committee (7 deputies and 7 senators) being composed mainly of parliamentarians in favor of raising the legal age to 64 years.
If the bill should be voted on Thursday morning by the Senate, which has already approved it at first reading, its adoption by the Assembly remains uncertain, in particular because of the position of some of the right-wing deputies. “We will be there in the Senate and then in the National Assembly to confirm these conclusions”, welcomed the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt on Twitter. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said the agreement showed that it was possible to “building solutions together”.

At the exit, the head of deputies LR Olivier Marleix meanwhile welcomed a “advanced” obtained over long careers. The question is crucial, because part of his troops, in the forefront of which the deputy of Lot Aurélien Pradié, have made it a battle horse to vote or not the reform.
