About 7,000 amendments to the pension reform project have been tabled for consideration in committee in the National Assembly, we learned from a parliamentary source on Thursday, with the risk that the deputies will not be able to go to the end. text on time.
The Social Affairs Committee is looking into this highly flammable reform from Monday. Even if certain amendments could be judged inadmissibletheir overall number makes it very difficult to examine the text in its entirety, before it arrives in the Chamber on 6 February.
LFI has not reproduced its massive obstruction strategy of 2020, when the rebels alone tabled 19,000 amendments in committee and 23,000 in session, against the previous attempt to reform pensions.
The postponement of the legal age particularly targeted
But the deputies of the leftist coalition Nupes have all the same tabled a very large number of amendments: 3345 amendments for LFI, 1282 for the ecologists, 1053 for the socialists, with the exception of the communists (272).
Flurry of amendments focus on clause 7 of bill, to oppose en bloc the postponement of the legal retirement age to 64 years. And the lawsuits in obstruction will not fail to fuse. LR carries a total of 617 amendments and the RN 75. In the majority, Renaissance has around a hundred, the MoDem and Horizons around forty each.

The reform review schedule is constrained, 20 days being allocated to the deputies for the first reading of the text, between passage in committee and in chambers. This is the deadline for an amending budget for Social Security (PLFSSR), a vector chosen by the government. The exchanges in the hemicycle must start on Monday, February 6 and end on midnight on 17, so that the text then passes to the Senate.
After the parliamentary break from February 20 to 26, the upper house dominated by the right will examine the text adopted by the Assembly, or failing that, the initial text of the government, modified by the amendments that the Assembly will have had time to vote and to which the executive is favourable. The senators will have 15 days.
Then deputies and senators will try to agree in a joint committee. If there is an agreement, it must be validated by both chambers. Otherwise the text will make a last shuttle and the Assembly will have the last word. The Parliament must decide in total in 50 days, ie by midnight March 26, failing which the provisions of the reform may be implemented by ordinance, provides for the Constitution. It never happened.
