Litem 1er on the disappearance of most of the special schemes validated in committee, after seven hours of exchanges: come in number, the deputies started on Monday the examination of the highly contested pension reform project. Most of the existing special regimes, including those of the RATP, the electricity and gas industries and the Banque de France, will be put into extinction, provides for the government project.
The presidential majority defended a principle of “equity between regimes” while the Nupes criticized a “leveling down” and “brutality” towards the personnel concerned. “Come to the picket lines” to assess the difficulty of these trades, invited Danielle Simonnet (LFI). These elected representatives of the left have sought in vain to delay this disappearance or to preserve certain regimes.
7,000 amendments tabled
The communist Sébastien Jumel has drawn the wrath of many colleagues during the discussion on the regime of the electricity and gas industries: “If we cut your juice for 2-3 hours in your hotlines, I don’t want to hear you cry”, declared the elected official of Seine-Maritime. “Do not provoke”, told him the president of the commission Fadila Khattabi (Renaissance), when another macronist accused him of “heating public opinion white”.

In the morning, the socialist Arthur Delaporte had immediately asked for “additional days” of examination of the reform project, while some 7,000 amendments were tabled – including 6,000 by the left and 1,200 inadmissible – and that the committee will complete its work on Wednesday evening. But 28 hours in total in committee is “a considerable amount of time”, retorted Ms. Khattabi. Whether or not the text is adopted in committee, it will be examined in the hemicycle from February 6, for two weeks.
“Everyone knows what will happen, including in public session”, breathed Charles de Courson (Liot group), regretting the vector chosen by the executive, a draft amending budget for the Social Security. The government will indeed be able to transmit the text to the Senate at the end of these two weeks even if the Assembly has not adopted it. In total, Parliament has 50 days to decide.
