Unsurprisingly, the National Assembly on Monday rejected a 17th motion of censure, filed in the wake of the battle for pensions. ” There sequence is over, assures Yaël Braun-Pivet, President of the National Assembly, invited this Tuesday on RTL. For me, it had been for a long time, since the promulgation of the law and its validation by the Constitutional Council. Some wanted to come back to the subject through this bill which made no sense and was unconstitutional. »

At the podium, the socialist Valérie Rabault had criticized in a stormy atmosphere “pressure” from the government of Elisabeth Borne during the pension crisis. “Are we still in democracy in Macronie? “Added the boss of rebellious deputies Mathilde Panot. Because the opposition has several times banged against a legislative rampart : 49.3, then Article 40 of the Constitutionwhich makes it possible to challenge bills and amendments from parliamentarians deemed inadmissible from a financial point of view, such as that recently tabled by the parliamentary group Liot.

“We are going to rethink the institutions through a working group, everything must be discussed,” says Yaël Braun-Pivet. Now we have to see why such and such a rule exists, what is its interest, and article 40 has one, in the current financial context. »

“I am a free and independent woman”

The use of Article 40 aroused the anger of the opposition: off the microphone, the rebellious Louis Boyard accused her of “an agent of the Élysée”, Monday in the hemicycle. He was sanctioned by the person concerned.

Asked about this subject on Tuesday, Yaël Braun-Pivet suppresses a laugh: “Fortunately, the President of the National Assembly that I am does not receive any pressure from the executive. I believe that over the past year I have proven that I am an independent, free woman, and above all aware of the heaviness of my task. The ridge line is not easy to find but I have been taking it for a year. »

If the “sequence of retreats is over”, Yaël Braun-Pivet does not derive complete satisfaction from it: “We could have done better, she admits, but there is no blame for anyone. No one can be satisfied social dialogue did not succeed, while other countries manage to adopt more difficult reforms. »

“I plead the culture of compromise, we are not there yet,” she continues. We succeed sometimes, but not on the divisive subjects, it is a collective work. Everyone must take a step. It’s much easier to say no than to seek a compromise. »
