The highest body of the National Assembly has rejected two new bills aimed at repealing the pension reform, we learned on Tuesday October 17 from parliamentary sources. These legislative proposals, tabled by the Insoumis deputies, have been described as“inadmissible”. A previous repeal text, tabled in June by the independent Liot group, had also been examined in committee, then blocked for the same reasons.

The LFI group this time intended to include one of these texts, repealing the increase in the retirement age to 64, on the program of its parliamentary slot on November 30, a day reserved for its legislative proposals. But the office of the National Assembly, which includes the vice-presidents, quaestors and secretaries of the institution, considered that these texts deviated from the rule according to which parliamentarians cannot propose a law creating a public office.

The LFI group denounces a “anti-democratic decision”, “zany and authoritarian”and an “serious drift of our Republic, under Macron”. To escape the filter of article 40, LFI had planned “pledges” financial, by identifying possible compensation through social security contributions on dividends or even increases in old-age contributions for high incomes.
