The National Group‘s bill to reduce the retirement age to 62 arrives in committee at the Assembly on Wednesday, before passing to the plenary session on the day reserved for the texts of the RN group on 31 October.

This text intends to restore the legal retirement age to 62, as well as the contribution period to forty-two years for a full pension, all financed by the increase in the price of tobacco.

The left is trapped

Unacceptable for the right and for the Macronists who had defended the highly contested pension reform, including the gradual increase to 64 years by 2030. With 23 seats in the commission for the central bloc against 17 for the far right, the left and its 25 representatives therefore find themselves in the position of arbiter. And he is still undecided on the course of action between voting for, against or abstaining.

An awkward position given that the four parties of the New Popular Front campaigned in June for the repeal of the same reform, but refuse to update the RN. They also denounce the “imposture” of a bill that “would have no chance of thriving” in the Senate, where the party of the flame has only a handful of elected representatives, as Arthur Delaporte (PS) reminded again on Tuesday.

A BIA text proposed on November 28, too late?

By contrast, a repeal text scheduled for Nov. 28 by the LFI could, if successful, be taken up by communists in the Senate in late January and then again in the Assembly by environmentalists in early February, he said Monday the president of the deputies of the LFI Mathilde Panot.

To impose their agenda without hesitation, the groups debated the best strategy until the end. The Socialists therefore decided on Tuesday afternoon that they “will not participate in the vote”.

He will vote, he will not vote

The LFI group “decided not to reveal its voting strategy”, when on Tuesday evening the environmental group chose to organize “an electronic vote” within itself to decide the line of conduct to follow, noting that “the group is divided ”. The result is expected on Wednesday morning, the group was informed.

The communists are “divided 50-50” between those who “do not want to blow up the dam” with the far right and those who “think that we cannot not vote for this text”, recognized their leader André Chassaigne, ready for the his part to “take the vote”.
