the President of the Assembly “not in favor” of an amendment included in the future Social Security finance bill

Yaël Braun-Pivet, President of the National Assembly, does not want the pension reform to be done by a government amendment included in the future Social Security finance bill (PLFSS), she said. Thursday September 22 on franceinfo. “I have never been in favor of the amendments which in themselves carry an important reform because they have not been appraised by the Council of State, have not been the subject of a study of impact, have not been worked on by parliamentarians upstream”she insisted.

“We must both raise the retirement age or increase the number of quarters and work on long careers and hardship. So we must carry out a comprehensive reform”, she adds. It recalls the need to discuss, “take the time to consult with political groups and social partners” for a “thorough work”. “This must be a global measure, fair to our fellow citizens, so it should not only include an age measure”continues the President of the Assembly.

In general, reforms should “take the time to consult”estimated Yaël Braun-Pivet. “This is the new method to which I called on the government and to which the Prime Minister in July responded favourably.”
