Pensions: the President of the National Assembly announces that the repeal measure will not be examined on Thursday

The repeal of retirement at age 64 will not be discussed in the hemicycle. The President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet put an end to the suspense, Wednesday, June 7, by announcing that she would declare “during the day” inadmissible the amendment on the subject tabled by the group Libertés, Indépendants, Outre-Mer and territories (LIOT) and which was to be discussed in the meeting on Thursday.

“On these reinstatement amendments on clause 1, they will be ruled out of order within a day by myself. The other amendments will be examined “: questioned on BFMTV, Ms. Braun-Pivet relied on article 40 of the Constitution, which prevents parliamentarians from creating via a bill or an amendment a financial burden for the State without compensate it. “This article 1 should never have been examined by the National Assembly because it creates charges. It should not be discussed because it does not comply with the Constitution, ”she said at the microphone of journalist Apolline de Malherbe.

The President of the National Assembly also spoke about the “refusal of democracy”, reproached to the majority. To the question of the journalist “there will therefore be no vote in the Assembly?” Ms. Braun-Pivet replied that “there was a vote in the Social Affairs Committee, and Article 1 was rejected. I refuse to sit on this vote. The parliamentarians spoke out against this article of the LIOT bill, ”she assured. “Tomorrow, whatever happens, there will not be a vote on repealing the pension reform. added Ms. Braun-Pivet.

The rest of the text presented tomorrow by the LIOT group to the National Assembly will also be “examined in the time reserved for them”, according to the president – that is until midnight Thursday, the deadline for the end of their parliamentary niche.

Last week, the presidential camp, supported by Les Républicains deputies, had emptied of its substance, in the Social Affairs Committee, the bill of the independent group, by rejecting its first article which planned to return to the postponement of the legal retirement age.
