On the eve of the parliamentary niche of the group of Liot deputies, the temperature goes up another notch. In question: the statements of the President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet. “Tomorrow, whatever happens, there will not be a vote on the repeal of the pension reform”, she said on Wednesday on RMC / BFMTV.

The Liot group’s bill relating to the repeal of the pension reform must be examined this Thursday in the Assembly. However, the majority have been hovering for several weeks the possibility of using Article 40 which prohibits any parliamentary proposal creating a burden on public finances. “On these amendments to restore Article 1, (who plans to return to 62), I am very clear: they will be declared inadmissible by myself during the day, ”said Braun-Pivet. And to add that there will be “other inadmissibility which will be pronounced”. “I apply the rule, nothing but the rule,” she added.

What to fulminate the boss of the group Liot Bertrand Pancher. The elected denounces, to our newspaper, a “prevarication”. A serious charge. This term points to a series of acts consisting, for the holder of an office or a mandate, in not satisfying the obligations resulting from this office or this mandate. Originally, the term applied to the transgression of a divine law.

“It is not normal that this announcement is made on a TV channel, instead of being first made public on the Assembly’s website, it is a further failure to respect its function” , we add in the entourage of Bertrand Pancher, denouncing “the weakening of Parliament”. “The decision of the President of the Assembly to declare inadmissible the amendments reinstating Article 1 of the bill repealing the increase in the effective retirement age constitutes a worrying precedent and a new denial of the democracy”, accuses the Liot group in a press release, seeing it as “an unprecedented attack on the parliamentary initiative”. The group of independent deputies who announced, in reaction to the declarations of the President of the Assembly, the holding of a press conference in the morning recalls its “ambition” to obtain “a vote of the Assembly on the reform pensions, the only condition to appease the country”?
