After three months of negotiations between the Prime Minister, the social partners and the various political parties, the government should obtain the support of the leader of the Republicans, Éric Ciotti, during the presentation of its pension reform. But also to face the deputies of the National Rally who intend to put a spoke in his wheels.
A few hours before the presentation of the pension reform, the deputies of the National Rally (RN) are already promising to wage a battle against the text in the National Assembly. Marine Le Pen’s party wants to take up this pension issue to establish itself as the first opposition force to the government.
RN MPs will use all possible remedies
The National Rally says it is ready to use all possible recourse to the Assembly to block a reform deemed “unfair and unnecessary”. Concretely, in the event of use of 49.3 by the government, the RN deputies will associate their votes with all possible motions of censure.
By filing amendments, the flame party also intends to put forward its own project: retirement at 60 for those who started working before the age of 20 and a departure at 62 for the others. “But we will vote for social advances if there are any,” explains a marinist strategist.
Pension reform, a simple accounting measure?
According to information from Europe 1, this line of opposition, both firm and constructive, will be carried by the president of the party at the end of the morning during his wishes to the press. Jordan Bardella should describe the pension reform as a simple accounting measure removed from the social issues which, in his eyes, are posed on work, the birth rate, or even the very idea of being able to benefit from a dignified retirement.
On the other hand, there is no question of seeing its elected officials come and fill the processions of the demonstrations. The RN still refuses to parade alongside the unions.
