On Monday, the government finally presents the Social Security financing bill to the Council of Ministers. A text which has already been widely talked about, in particular following the admission of the executive to consider introducing pension reform into the bill. A method that does not pass with the deputies.

Double baptism of fire for the government tomorrow before the Council of Ministers. Presentation of the 2023 draft budget and the Social Security financing bill. And it is the presentation of this last text which promises to be explosive if the executive introduces its pension reform. Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne will bring together part of the government and part of the presidential majority next week to discuss the method.

A passage in force denounced from all sides

Emmanuel Macron delays and wants to show that he consults. This meeting will make it possible to take stock of the need and the challenges of this pension reform, explains the Élysée. The Palace stresses that the objective is for it to be adopted at all costs in the summer of 2023. For the moment, several options are still on the table, whether it is a stand-alone text by the beginning of next year or a simple amendment by Christmas.

This second hypothesis has hitherto been favored, but criticism even within its majority in recent days has ended up making the Head of State hesitate. The President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet and is not in favor of it, while François Bayrou even denounces a passage in force. The boss of the Modem warned that his deputies would certainly not vote for such an amendment. François Bayrou will have the opportunity to speak directly to Emmanuel Macron about it: the two men will see each other on Friday in Pau. The president will inaugurate a cultural complex in the city of his centrist ally.
