the President of the Assembly will oppose any amendment resulting in a vote to repeal the postponement of the legal retirement age

The President of the National Assembly announced, Wednesday, June 7, that she was going to block the examination, in the hemicycle, of the measure wishing to repeal the postponement of the start of the retirement age to 64 years. “On these amendments reinstating section 1 [qui prévoit de repasser à 62 ans], I am very clear: they will be declared inadmissible by myself during the day”said Yaël Braun-Pivet on BFMTV.

“I apply the rule, nothing but the rule”, she added, an allusion to article 40 of the Constitution which prohibits any parliamentary proposal creating a burden on public finances. IArticle 1 of the Liot group’s bill rejected by the social affairs commission, after a narrow vote (38 votes against 34). The oppositions counted on being able to replay this match Thursday in the hemicycle, by depositing “reinstatement amendments”.

The rest of the text considered on Thursday

For Yaël Braun-Pivet, this article wouldn’t have anyway “never had to be examined by the National Assembly because he created charges”. The rest of the bill, supported by most of the opposition, can still be examined on Thursday.

The left denounced the decision of the President of the National Assembly. “They are afraid of losing so they want to prevent MPs from voting in defiance of all the rules of law in force”, assures the deputy of La France insoumise (LFI) Manuel Bompard. The leader of the LFI deputies, Mathilde Panot, announced Wednesday morning the filing of a motion of censure against the government.
