The government, by postponing the presentation of its pension reform to January 10, is trying to “mitigate the scope” of its text in the face of “resistance”, estimated the leader of the Communist deputies André Chassaigne Monday evening, at the resulting from a meeting with Elisabeth Borne.
“I don’t think the project is quite mature. They realize that the government is isolated, that there is discontent, resistance. And they are trying to think about how they can attenuate the scope of their text, ”said the PCF deputy.
The MP also expressed his fear that parliamentarians “have a little less time to study the final draft”.
“Discussions are still ongoing so we have no specific information on the content”, added his counterpart in the Senate Eliane Assassi, recalling that the PCF had a project on pensions “completely opposed” to that of the government. .
Ms. Borne begins this week a new series of interviews with political forces on this reform, which favors a postponement of the retirement age to 64 or 65, a track contested by the unions and most opposition groups.
The Prime Minister will meet again with political groups and trade unions the week of January 2.
