Seven deputies and seven senators must now meet and try to reach an agreement on the text.

The bill continues its legislative path. After ten days of discussion, and despite parliamentary obstruction from the left, the Senate passed the pension reform on July 11th. For the Macron camp, the hardest part begins. And the week promises to be busy to say the least.

On March 15, arrival of the text in CMP

Scheduled for this Wednesday, the Joint Joint Committee (CMP) brings together seven deputies and seven senators who will meet with the aim of finding an agreement on the bill and leading to the writing of a common text. Of all sensitivities, parliamentarians are proportionally represented according to their political weight in each Chamber.

On March 16, arrival at the Assembly

If the CMP is conclusive, the text will return to the Senate which will validate it, Thursday morning. Before finishing, in the afternoon, from 3 p.m., at the National Assembly. The final vote will then take place. A still uncertain vote: will the majority be able to count on the support of Les Républicains deputies? And even, on that of his own camp which knows some dissonances, at a time when every vote counts? Will Elisabeth Borne use 49.3? “I don’t want to put myself in that light“, supported the Prime Minister, last week. “Our objective is to do without the 49.3. We have always been told that we cannot bring together majorities on the texts, and for the moment all our texts have been voted“, declared on RMC this March 13, the Minister of Energy Transition, Agnès Pannier-Runacher.
