The Liot group’s bill concerning the repeal of the pension reform was finally validated by the Finance Committee, but some elected officials are not so favorable to it, like the Republicans. The text will be examined this Wednesday morning in the Social Affairs Committee at the National Assembly.
This Wednesday morning, the Liot group’s bill aimed at repealing the pension reform and the legal retirement age at 64 is being examined by the Social Affairs Committee of the National Assembly. Not all members of the opposition are in favor of it, like the Republicans, eight of whom are members of this commission. Six of them are in fact opposed to the group’s proposal, like Alexandre Vincent, who will presently table an amendment to delete the first article.
“You have to stop the joke”
For the latter, the adoption of the text is doomed to failure. “Me, what I would like someone to explain to me simply is how the Liot group wishes to finance pensions, if it goes back on this reform. Especially since it is lying to the French since this text does not cannot be adopted in the Senate even if it is adopted in the National Assembly. I believe that the joke must be stopped.”
So internally at Les Républicains, many, if not all, are betting on the absence of a vote. A solution that would suit the right, reluctant to resurrect its divisions on pensions. Finally, even if a vote were to take place, the 19 deputies who had voted for the motion of censure last March would not necessarily vote for the proposal of the Liot group. Several of them, opposed to the initial reform, criticized Charles de Courson’s text for not offering a financial alternative to the current system.
