Ihe group of Liot deputies finally gave up. The independent group withdrew the text repealing retirement at age 64 discussed in the National Assembly. It had been emptied of its flagship measure which had fueled the flame of opponents of the pension reform despite its promulgation in mid-April.

“There is nothing left in the text except obviously the amendments of the presidential minority. In responsibility, we have decided to withdraw our text”, indicated to the press the boss of the group Bertrand Pancher, after more than two hours of eruptive exchanges.

Parliamentary democracy “crushed”

At the start of the session in the Assembly, the oppositions had expressed their anger Thursday against the presidential camp, accused of “crushing parliamentary democracy”. “From this lowering of Parliament can only emerge disinterest in our institutions, and in the worst case, anger and violence”, warned Charles de Courson at the podium.

In a hemicycle hemicycle, the session had started with a series of points of order, targeting the decision Wednesday of the President of the Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, to block the examination of the repeal measure, deemed unconstitutional because creating a burden on public finances.
