“We still have a few tricks” to come back to the reform, promises the Insoumis François Ruffin

“We still have a few tricks in our hat, which we will try to get out”, warns François Ruffin, Thursday, June 1 on franceinfo, the day after the deletion in committee, in the Assembly, of the key article of the bill carried by the independent group Liot aimed at repealing retirement at 64 years old. The deputy La France insoumise (LFI) of the Somme does not say more: “I’m not going to detail them, it’s the principle of trickery, anyway.”

“There are still a few episodes”, he points out. The next is June 8: the examination in the hemicycle of this bill, amended on Wednesday so that it no longer plans to reduce the legal retirement age to 62 years. The Liot deputies intend to reintroduce the measure, by means of an amendment.

“We are still going to try things, (…) even if now it is obvious that the weapons are on the side of power.”

The presidential camp has indeed warned: the President of the Assembly will block this amendment, on the grounds that it creates or aggravates a public charge, which is prohibited by article 40 of the Constitution. “They don’t want a vote in the National Assembly on raising the legal age to 64” And “they do everything fordenounces François Ruffin. “All schemes, all shenanigans are good to achieve this”he adds.

The Picard elected official quotes the“kind of transfer window” in the Social Affairs Committee, on the side of the Republican deputies. Thus, the “free spirits” who could have “speak in their soul and conscience” And “vote quietly” against the abolition of the repeal of the retirement age at 64 were “discarded” for the benefit of “nags”he points.
