Before the final adoption in the Senate, the National Assembly on Wednesday gave a final green light to the first part of measures in favor of purchasing power, despite a motion to reject LFI against a text of “regression” according to these deputies.
4% increase in retirement pensions and several allowances with retroactive effect from July 1, 2022, capping the rise in rents at 3.5% in France and again tripling the ceiling of the Macron bonus that can be paid by employers : this emergency bill was validated by 395 votes against 112 and 36 abstentions.
The majority favored concrete measures.
The LR group, which pledges have been given, also came out in favor of provisions going in the right direction but insufficient and leaving a taste of unfinished business.
The RN deputies supported small steps, while deploring to have been excluded from negotiations with the executive.
Criticizing co-management with LR on this text, the left was divided between against (LFI, PCF, cologists) and abstentions (PS).
The Senate, dominated by the right, which has found common ground with the presidential majority, must still vote on it one last time at the end of the afternoon, which will be worth validating on behalf of Parliament.
No country in Europe does so much in support of purchasing power, said the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt before the deputies, welcoming an example of co-construction with parliamentarians.

But the LFI deputies defended in vain a motion for the prior rejection of an indignant bill which according to them leads to the regression of purchasing power given the high inflation (+6.1% in July over one year of after INSEE).
In its energy component, which anticipates supply difficulties next winter, the text takes us into a destructive model of the climate, astonished the rebellious Aurlie Trouv, announcing a referral to the Constitutional Council on this point.
The tone rose with the majority, while Bruno Millienne (MoDem) reproached the rebellious for having transformed this hemicycle into a permanent theater for Youtubers, throwing to them: you are not democracy.
Kevin Mauvieux (RN) also criticized LFI for obstructing everything, all the time.
