The pension reform was adopted Monday morning in the Council of Ministers. Place now in Parliament. The text will be examined in the Social Affairs Committee from Monday, in a week, before being debated in public session in the hemicycle from February 6.

“No voice must be missing!” : this is the watchword that circulates in the ranks of Macronists. The deputies of the majority are called to unite to support the pension reform, adopted this Monday morning in the Council of Ministers. Because some parliamentarians, from the left wing of the presidential party, are beginning to doubt or even oppose this reform.

Tuesday evening, she will send her wishes to the majority deputy. Story of a last call to order before the start of hostilities at the Bourbon Palace.
