During the debate on pensions, the MoDem deputies will not table an amendment aimed at increasing the weekly working time by half an hour, they indicated on Tuesday, after causing a brief stir in the majority with this proposal.
We put hypotheses, ideas on the table, but at this stage of the discussion, we will not table anything that goes on the subject of financing, dismissed the deputy Philippe Vigier, who had pleaded Sunday for these 35.5 hours of work per week to fund pensions. There is no pataqus, he assured during a press briefing in the Assembly, while this proposal had ruffled the government and the Renaissance group.
The MoDem, an ally of Emmanuel Macron, is considering around twenty amendments to the reform project. The centrist deputies want in particular a review clause, to take stock of the trajectory of the pension reform on January 1, 2028.
They would also like to improve the text on the employment rate of seniors, for example by a career report from the age of 46, and intend to be at the forefront to better take into account careers that have been undermined, continued Philippe Vigier, deputy for Eure- et-Loir.
Group President Jean-Paul Mattei assured that everyone is focused and realizes that this reform is necessary for essentially budgetary issues, it must be assumed.

It is sure that we may regret the retirements by points of two years ago, but it is like that, we will do with it. We will accompany the movement, it is time to make this reform to ensure the sustainability of the PAYG system and the maintenance of the purchasing power of withdrawals, he underlined.
In this bill, there are many good and interesting things about long careers, hardship, jobs like TUC (collective utility works), believes Jean-Paul Mattei.
This is really not the time to tremble. We have to move forward as a pack, united. This reform is necessary and responds to a number of unresolved equality issues, added MP Erwan Balanant. If we do not move, we are going to troubled times, we will undoubtedly have a collapse of pensions, considers this elected representative from Finistre.
