CGT, CFDT, FO … The unions continue their mobilization against the pension reform wanted by the government. As the 8th day of mobilization takes place this Wednesday, the bill is entering its home stretch. The Joint Joint Committee (CMP), which brings together seven deputies and seven senators, must examine the text behind closed doors and find a final compromise on it.
The content of the commission on Twitter?
But if in recent days, the executive has tried to try to ensure a maximum of votes, especially in the ranks of the Republicans. On the other side of the hemicycle, the left does not intend to stand idly by and wants to take advantage of the CMP to oppose the government’s project.
Thus, the socialist deputy Boris Vallaud opened hostilities by asking to broadcast the exchanges within the commission live. A request refused by the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun Pivet. So, the elected officials of Nupes are changing their strategy, the leader of La France insoumise, Mathilde Panot, has announced that the content of the committee’s discussions will be made public via the social network Twitter. A strategy already applied last year, this time by Bruno Retailleau, the boss of the Republicans in the Senate, who had caused the failure of the commission on the vaccine pass by publishing the result on Twitter at the end of the latter.
Eternalize the debates
The elected representatives of the left also want to register in the long term the debates around the reform of pensions, during the joint joint commission. “The idea is not that this CMP can be done in half an hour with the agreements that have already been made between the Republicans and the Macronists”, explains at a press conference the LFI deputy for Seine- Saint-Denis Mathilde Panot.
And the debates could go on forever. Indeed, the regulations do not provide for a time limit for the committee. What support, a little more, the strategy desired by the Left Alliance.
