Tense exchange by interposed media between the majority and the independent group Liot. Despite its promulgation in mid-April, the pension reform continues to create turmoil. The Liot group hopes to repeal the retirement of 64 years with a bill to be examined in the hemicycle on 8th June next. "We warn the government, the president of the Republic and the relative majority about the truly grotesque and ridiculous character of an obstruction," Bertrand Pancher, the president of this group of twenty elected representatives, told reporters.
Within the majority, MEPs do not hide their concern about the outcome of a vote. Aurore Bergé, once again called for the mobilization of her troops not to lack votes on June 8, knowing that the text will only need a simple majority to be adopted. The leader of the Renaissance group also questioned the admissibility of this bill on Tuesday: "She lies to the French. The members of the Liot group (...) know full well that even if it were to be adopted, this bill would not go through. »
"The strength of the people"
To which Charles de Courson, deputy Liot of the Marne and rapporteur of the bill, replied the next day: "The last word is in the National Assembly which is the only representative of the French people, in a democracy it is the strength of the people. It is up to the representatives of the people, the National Assembly, to decide on this matter. Through this bill, "for the first time the National Assembly will pronounce" on the pension reform, he also pleaded.
The bill to repeal the postponement of the legal retirement age to 64 will be on the menu of the "parliamentary niche" of the Liot group on June 8, a day during which it can dictate the agenda of the public session.
