This Tuesday, May 2 marks the return of parliamentarians to the National Assembly after two weeks of vacation. A well-filled program awaits the deputies in the coming weeks, even if the subject of pensions is no longer on the agenda, with in particular bills from each group.

The deputies find this Tuesday, May 2 the Bourbon palace after two weeks of vacation. During this time, the Constitutional Council partially validated the pension reform project and the text was promulgated. Even if the subject of pensions is no longer on the agenda, the tough battle of recent months has left its mark in each of the parliamentary groups.

Debate group bills

On the program: a so-called control week, which is supposed to allow Parliament, as its name suggests, to exercise its power to control the executive. There will indeed be a session of questions to the government this Tuesday afternoon but the parliamentarians will spend most of their time in the hemicycle debating very political subjects proposed by the groups, with in particular bills.

This Wednesday, it will be a question of localism at the request of RN deputies but also of the repression of the social movement by the police on the side of the Insoumis. The calendar for the coming weeks is being set in the Assembly during the traditional conference of presidents. The government, through the Minister responsible for Relations with Parliament, Franck Riester, has asked for the agenda of the military programming law to be included.

The rest of the program will be about the text on value sharing resulting from the agreement signed in February as well as the Green Industry bill. Eric Dupond-Moretti’s justice programming law will begin its parliamentary journey with the Senate.
