While a new sequence under high tension opens this week in the National Assembly, its president, Yaël Braun-Pivet, puts pressure on Eric Coquerel. As a reminder, the chairman of the finance committee must render his decision on Tuesday around the admissibility of the 64-year-old repeal text, supported by the opposition. Questioned this Tuesday on France 2, Yaël Braun-Pivet considers that article 1 of this proposal carried by the Liot group is “clearly unconstitutional”.
The reason ? It would violate “Article 40” of the Constitution, she judges. The presidential camp has been brandishing article 40 of the Constitution for several weeks, which provides that parliamentary initiatives are not admissible if they increase public spending. However, according to Yaël Braun-Pivet, the Liot group’s proposal “would create an expenditure of 18 billion euros”.
“I hear people say: it would be undemocratic to prevent the vote (of the Liot proposal), I find it crazy because it is the application of the law and there is nothing more democratic than ‘apply the law,’ insisted the President of the Assembly.
An argument that may not be heard by Éric Coquerel. Because except last minute surprise, the Insoumis deputy of Seine-Saint-Denis should announce this Tuesday that he declares admissible the text of repeal of the 64 years, paving the way for its examination on June 8.
“No democracy works without political pluralism”
“To those who show respect for the Constitution on the subject of Article 40, I say that by proceeding in this way they are undermining a much more important constitutional right: that of the right of the opposition. I remind you that no democracy works without political pluralism,” Éric Coquerel wrote on Monday. in a column published by Le Monde.
The independent group Liot (Liberties, Independents, Overseas Territories and Territories) and its 21 deputies put on the table a proposed repeal law on the menu for a day on June 8 dedicated to the group’s texts (“niche”) . His boss Bertrand Pancher intends to offer a “top exit” to the “very serious social and political crisis” generated by the pension reform.
