Elisabeth Borne denounced Tuesday “the demagogy” of the oppositions which support the bill of the independent group Liot aiming to repeal the pension reform.
We do not defend institutions struck down by unconstitutional bills. We are not lying to the French by carrying, with the greatest demagogy, a text which everyone here knows, for good, that it would be censured by the Constitutional Council if it reached the end of its parliamentary process, declared the Prime Minister during of the sitting of questions to the government the National Assembly.
Until the end, we will defend reality against demagogy and the Constitution against those who question it, she added.
Shortly after, the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt sharply responded to Charles de Courson (Liot), believing that with this text he could never again come to this chamber and learnedly lecture on public finances.
Deputy Courson, how do you feel when the National Front and LFI stand up to support you in an admirable identity and extremist pincer movement?, he said.
Declared admissible but subject to a lively debate on its constitutionality, the bill aimed at repealing the postponement of the retirement age from 62 to 64 years old was Tuesday at the heart of a showdown between the oppositions and a presidential camp determined to prevent a vote in the National Assembly.
